Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on one side of the sheet pan and the green beans on the other side.
  3. Toss the green beans with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
  4. Season the salmon with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
  5. Whisk together the sugar-free maple syrup, real maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
  6. Spoon the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets.
  7. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the green beans are tender.
  8. While the salmon bakes, cook the cauliflower rice according to package directions and heat the jasmine rice.
  9. Mix the cauliflower rice and jasmine rice together.
  10. Serve each plate with 1 salmon fillet, 1/2 cup green beans, and 1 cup cauliflower-jasmine rice blend. Spoon any extra glaze from the pan over the salmon before serving.

Freezer Storage

  1. Let the salmon, green beans, and rice cool completely.
  2. Portion into individual freezer-safe containers.
  3. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  4. For best texture, keep the salmon on top of the rice instead of underneath it.

Reheating Instructions

  1. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator if possible.
  2. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through.
  3. Add 30-second intervals if needed.
  4. Do not overheat the salmon or it can dry out.

40/400 Notes

  • Using a mix of cauliflower rice and jasmine rice keeps the meal satisfying without pushing calories too high.
  • A small amount of real maple syrup gives the glaze true maple flavor.
