Oprah Winfrey: Fire-Roasted Salmon with Stir-Fried Brown Rice and Pineapple Sauce
Serves 1
Oprah liked this dish so much that she just had to get the recipe from Miraval Resort executive chef Mary Nearn. The two later showed Oprah’s TV viewers how to make it on the show.

4 ounces grilled salmon fillet
½ ounce pineapple sauce*
¼ teaspoon canola oil
1 teaspoon red pepper small dice
1 teaspoon celery, chopped
1 teaspoon green onions, chopped
¼ teaspoon cilantro
½ cup brown rice, cooked
1 cup vegetable stock
Pinch of salt
Pepper to taste
1 baby bok choy, cut in half

• Prepare one recipe of pineapple sauce (see below).
• Heat your grill. Place a 4-ounce piece of salmon on grill, meat side down, and mark on one side, then turn the fish over and mark on the other side.
• Place the fish in an ovenproof dish in a 350ºF oven and cook until just medium-well done. Set aside and keep warm.
• To make the rice, heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add ¼ teaspoon of oil. Add the red peppers, celery, green onions, and cilantro, and sauté until halfway cooked. Add the ½ cup of rice to the pan and stir. Add the vegetable stock, a pinch of salt, and pepper to taste; let the mixture cook until all the vegetable stock is reduced into the rice. Keep warm and set aside.
• Cook the baby bok choy in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes until just done. The bok choy should still be bright green.
• To assemble the dish, place the rice mixture in the bottom of a shallow bowl. Place the salmon on top of the rice. Slice the baby bok choy and arrange the baby bok choy around the salmon and then drizzle the sauce around the plate. Garnish the dish with the remaining scallions.
