Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the dried dill weed and chicken-flavor instant bouillon to create the rub mixture.
  3. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and place it on a baking sheet or grill grate.
  4. Sprinkle the dill-bouillon rub evenly over the salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Cook the salmon for 12-15 minutes in the oven or 6-8 minutes per side on the grill, until flaky and cooked through.
  6. Meanwhile, boil the water and add the uncooked instant brown rice; cook according to package instructions, usually about 5 minutes.
  7. Steam the frozen French-style green beans until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Serve the seasoned salmon alongside the brown rice and green beans for a complete meal.
