Find an organic honey that is preferably in a bottle that you are able to drizzle out of. It is a lot easier than using a spoon and you will end up using less! I used the Whole Foods organic light amber wildflower honey.
My favorite Jasmine rice is Lundberg. It is organic and tastes amazing.
For the coconut milk, I prefer 365 organic light coconut milk from Whole Foods. I’ve found that it is the perfect consistency for cooking the rice without being too thick.
Extra Tips
I recommend putting everything into the oven before starting on your rice. To save time, use shaved Brussels sprouts. All you have to do is throw them on the cookie sheet without taking time to cut them!
The broil stage is always optional. Depending on how crispy you like your salmon, I’ve found that 3-5 minutes is optimal. Make sure you are continuously checking the oven to ensure it doesn’t get too burned.
I also love to switch up this recipe by using different vegetables in place of the Brussels sprouts. Since the seasonings are pretty simple, really anything goes. For a lower carb option, you can try cauliflower rice cooked in coconut oil in place of the jasmine.
