Ingredients

What you'll need.

  • 1 cup (200 g) Stellar Basmati
  • 2 salmon fillets; salt, pepper, 1 tbsp oil
  • Zest + juice of 1 lemon; 2 tbsp chopped dill and parsley; 1 tbsp butter; 1 garlic clove
Method

How to make it.

  1. Cook the basmati using the Perfect Steamed Basmati method. While it rests, fold through lemon zest, half the herbs, butter and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  2. Pat salmon dry, season. Sear in oil skin-side down 4–5 min until crisp, flip 2–3 min.
  3. Add garlic and remaining lemon juice to the pan for 30 sec to make a quick lemon-butter.
  4. Plate the herbed rice, top with salmon, spoon over pan juices, scatter remaining herbs and a lemon wedge.
Tip · Take the salmon off heat while the centre is just translucent — it carries over to perfectly moist.
