Jasmine Rice with Zucchini, Kale, Parsley and Parmesan
Okay. Although the salmon steaks are good enough to eat without a side, I feel this Jasmine Rice recipe compliments it well. But this isn’t just any old Jasmine rice, this has zucchini, kale, parsley and some good Parmesan. Talk about taking it up a notch. I paired this easy recipe for Jasmine Rice with Baked Salmon, Sweet Candy Onions and Brown Sugar Mandarin Glaze, so be sure to check that out!

I would pair it with salmon, too. I love how you include summer and fall vegetables in the side dish.
