Recipe View 35 mins Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through, tender, and flakes easily with a fork. The rice should be moist and infused with the flavors of the herbs and citrus. (Time: 30-40 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil to the salmon before baking.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Thyme, oregano, or garlic powder would all be delicious additions.
If you prefer a crispy top on the salmon, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

    I tried this recipe last night, and it was a hit! The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the rice was so flavorful. Will definitely make again!

    So easy to make and a healthy dinner option. I added a squeeze of lemon at the end for extra zing!
