  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the honey bourbon glaze over them. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the broth, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked.
  4. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Garnish with parsley.
