Herby poached salmon with greens and steamed basmati

Ingredients

  • 750ml (3 cups) vegetable stock
  • 1 red chilli, sliced
  • juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 5cm fresh ginger, sliced
  • sea salt and freshly ground black
  • pepper, to taste
  • 4 x salmon fillet portions
  • steamed basmati rice, to serve
  • fresh rocket, to serve
  • sliced red chilli, to serve
  • thick Greek yoghurt, to serve
  • fresh lime cheeks, to serve

Instructions

1

Place the stock, chilli, lime juice and zest, ginger and seasoning in a large non-stick frying pan or saucepan.

2

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and place the salmon fillets in the poaching liquid. Cook for 5 minutes, remove the salmon with a slotted spoon and place on serving plates. The salmon should still be pink in the centre.

3

Serve with steamed basmati rice, plenty of rocket and fresh chilli, a dollop of Greek yoghurt and lime cheeks.

Notes

To drink: A medium-wooded chardonnay pairs well with the fattiness of the salmon.
