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?

Step-by-step instructions

First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Large Pan with Lid
Frypan
Kettle

Step 1

1 Prepare Ingredients

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. Pick coriander leaves and finely chop the stems (discarding the roots). Boil kettle for step 3.

Tip! You can use a small food processor for the garlic and coriander stems if you prefer. When preparing the red chilli, you can remove the seeds if you want less heat.

Step 2

2 Cook Aromatics

Heat oil in pan over medium heat. Add minced lemongrass, ginger, garlic, coriander stems and salt and cook stirring for 4 minutes.

Tip! Add enough oil to cover the base of the pan.

Step 3

3 Start Pilaf

Add the basmati rice to the pan and stir to combine. Add chicken stock concentrate and 112 cups hot water from the kettle then bring to the boil. Cover with lid, reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes.

Tip! When you're swapping the chef selected protein; adjust the cooking times and method to ensure your protein is properly cooked and therefore safe to eat.

Step 4

4 Add Salmon

After 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.

Step 5

5 Prepare Greens

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.

Step 6

6 You Plate It

Serve the salmon pilaf family style to the table and top with coriander leaves, chilli and spring onion. Serve alongside the pak choy. Enjoy!

Tip! If you have any soy sauce remaining, you can use for garnish.
