Asian Salmon-and-Rice Soup Recipe

Asian Salmon-and-Rice Soup Recipe

  • 3/4 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, skin removed, fish cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
  • 10 cilantro stems, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves, for garnish
  • 3 scallions including green tops, chopped
  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in the rice and boil until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  2. Coat the salmon with the soy sauce and sesame oil.
  3. In a large pot, combine the cooked rice, the cilantro stems, the ginger, salt, broth, and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  4. Add the salmon to the pot. Simmer, covered, until the salmon is just done, about 5 minutes. Remove the cilantro stems. Serve the soup garnished with the cilantro leaves and scallions.
