Believed to have originated in Persia around 330 BC, pilaf has become a dietary staple for many regions worldwide, yet the recipe basics remain unchanged. Rice or wheat in some countries, is cooked in stock or broth with spices and other ingredients such as vegetables or meat, ensuring the grains do not stick together. For our recipe, steamed salmon rests on a flavoursome lemongrass pilaf with fresh coriander and chilli garnish. A quick and healthy dinner, what more could you want?

Peel and mince garlic and ginger. Pat salmon fillets dry on paper towel and cut into 3 cm pieces. Trim and thinly slice spring onion and red chilli on an angle. Boil kettle for step 3.
Heat oil in pan over medium heat. Add minced lemongrass, ginger, garlic and salt and cook stirring for 4 minutes.
Add the rice to the pan and stir to combine. Add stock concentrate and 11⁄2 cups hot water from the kettle then bring to the boil. Cover with lid, reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes.
Add salmon in a single layer to the top of the rice mixture, cover with lid and remove pan from the heat. Allow to stand for 4 minutes, until salmon is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, trim and cut pak choy into 3 cm pieces. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add pak choy and cook for 2 minutes, until bright green and still a bit crunchy. Season with soy sauce (to taste) and set aside.
Serve the salmon pilaf family style to the table and top with chilli and spring onion. Serve alongside the pak choy. Enjoy!
