Editor’s Note: This quick and easy recipe for Bombay Salmon with Jasmine Rice is part of the Chanukah menu in Quick & Kosher: Meals in Minutes.

Author’s Note: A salmon steak is cut across the fish to form a slice containing the bones. A filet is taken from the side of the fish, leaving the bones behind.

Make sure to use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!
