Tray Baked Moroccan Salmon & Rice

Serves
4
Total Time
54 Minutes
Ingredients
2 Cooks&Co Green Frenk Chillies
1 large courgette
250g of basmati rice
2 Cooks&Co Roasted Red Peppers, finely sliced
1 preserved lemon, skin & pith finely chopped
12-14 pitted green olives, halved
½ tsp of ground turmeric
½ tsp of ground cinnamon
1 tsp of ground cumin
500ml of hot vegetable stock
3 tsp of harissa paste (less if it’s a very spicy one)
3 tbsp of natural yoghurt
4 salmon fillets, skin on
Olive oil for drizzling
Small handful pistachio nuts, roughly chopped
½ lemon
Flaked sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Method
Step 1

Heat the oven to 200°C / 180°C Fan / Gas Mark 6.

Step 2

Roughly chop 2 of the Cooks&Co Green Frenk chillies and put them in a large roasting tray, approximately 25cm x 35cm. Cut the courgette in half lengthways and then cut into half-moon slices. Add to the tray along with the rice, Cooks&Co Roasted Pepper strips, preserved lemon, olives, dried spices and pour over the stock. Briefly stir everything together. Cover the tray with a piece of foil, wrapping tightly to prevent any steam escaping. Put it in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine and mix the harissa, yoghurt and a pinch of salt and use this to coat the salmon all over.

Step 4

Remove the tray from the oven, take off the foil, taking care as the hot steam escapes and sit the salmon on top, spreading excess yoghurt on top of the fillets. Season with salt and black pepper and drizzle the whole thing with a little olive oil. Return to the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes.

Step 5

Lift the salmon onto serving plates. Run a fork through the rice to separate the grains and serve scattered with pistachio nuts, a squeeze of lemon juice and extra chillies.

Salmon & Tomato Curry with Dill Rice

Serves
2
Total Time
36 Minutes
Ingredients
16g of tomato paste
1 tbsp of curry powder
130g of white long-grain rice
5.5g of vegetable stock mix
2 x 110g of skin-on salmon fillets
15g of ginger paste
25g of solid creamed coconut
10g of dill
1 garlic clove
2 tomatoes
1 brown onion
Note: you’ll also need butter, pepper, salt & vegetable oil
Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C / 200°C Fan / Gas 7 and boil a kettle. Heat a pot with a matching lid, with a knob of butter over a medium heat.

Step 2

Add the white long-grain rice to the pot with a pinch of salt and cook for 2 minutes or until the rice has darkened slightly in colour.

Step 3

Add 225ml cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 minutes or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked. Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving.

Step 4

Meanwhile, peel and slice the brown onion finely. Heat a large wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 5-6 minutes or until softened.

Step 5

While the onion is cooking, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic, and chop the tomatoes into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Meanwhile, chop the dill finely, including the stalks. Add the salmon fillets (skin-side up) to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess!).

Step 7

Put the tray in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through. Your fish is cooked through once it's opaque and flakes easily. Once cooked, peel the skin off the salmon and discard.

Step 8

Once the onion has softened, add the curry powder, chopped garlic, ginger paste and tomatoes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes further or until the tomatoes start to break down. Chop the creamed coconut roughly (if required).

Step 9

Meanwhile, dissolve the vegetable stock mix, tomato paste and chopped creamed coconut in 300ml of boiled water – this is your coconut stock.

Step 10

Once the tomatoes have started to break down, add the coconut stock to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes further until thickened slightly. Once thickened, add the cooked salmon to the pan, and spoon the sauce over – this is your salmon & tomato curry.

Step 11

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork, add a knob of butter, the chopped dill and season generously with salt and pepper – this is your dill rice.

Step 12

Serve the salmon and tomato curry over the dill rice.
