Oil Poached Salmon With Sticky Rice And Dried Fruit Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place the aromatics-the garlic, thyme, lemon zest, coriander, and bay leaves-in cheesecloth. Tie into a sachet. Add the oil to a large straight-sided saute pan and toss in the sachet. Bring the pan to a medium heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.
• Let the salmon come to room temperature and season generously with salt. Add the salmon fillets to the pan with the olive oil. Let the fish cook in the oil for 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oil with a fish spatula to a plate before serving.

Steps:

• For the lime rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions and keep warm.
• For the salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and heat until the oil shimmers. Add the salmon flesh-side down and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and lime juice in a bowl.
• Turn the fish over and add the soy mixture to the bottom of the pan. Bring the soy mixture to a simmer and spoon over the top of the salmon as it cooks until cook through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water with a steamer insert to the boil over high heat. Add the broccolini, cover and steam until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the fish to a plate. Add the lime slices to the skillet and simmer until the glaze is super sticky, about 3 minutes more.
• Add the lime zest to the rice and stir. Tip onto a platter. Arrange the broccolini on top and place the salmon, glaze and lime slices on the broccolini, then sprinkle over the cilantro.

Steps:

• Rinse the quinoa and tip into a large non-stick frying pan. Turn the heat to medium and dry out the grains, stirring to move them about the pan. Once all the liquid has evaporated, stir in the oil. Continue cooking the quinoa until it has turned a nutty brown and starts to 'pop' - this will take 10-15 mins. Stir every so often to stop the quinoa burning. Pour over the stock and simmer for 15-20 mins until all the liquid has been absorbed. Tip into a bowl and allow to cool.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Drop in the soya beans, asparagus and broccoli, and simmer for 2 mins. Remove using a slotted spoon and plunge into a bowl of ice-cold water. Drain the vegetables.
• Add 1 tsp of the lemon juice to the pan with the vegetable water, then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer. Season the salmon fillets and submerge fully in the water. Poach for 6-8 mins until just cooked. Remove, allow to cool, then take off the skin and flake into large chunks.
• Make a dressing by mixing together the garlic, most of the lemon zest and remaining lemon juice. Mix the quinoa, lentils, drained vegetables, spring onions, herbs, spinach and dressing together in a large bowl, then season. Pile onto a serving plate, top with the salmon, then scatter over the almonds and remaining lemon zest.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and the sugar. Place cut up fruit in a large salad bowl, pour sugar lime mixture over fruit. Taste and adjust seasonings with more lime or sugar as needed.;

Steps:

• Put the teriyaki and chilli sauces in a shallow dish and mix together well. lay the salmon fillet in the marinade flesh-side down. Set aside while you prepare the rice and pak choi.
• Put the rice in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 mins until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water - 6 mins before the end of cooking, put the pak choi in a colander and sit on top of the rice to steam, covered with a lid.
• Meanwhile, heat the grill to high and place the salmon fillet, skin-side up, on a baking tray lined with foil. Grill for 4-5 mins, basting with the marinade, then turn over and grill for a further 3 mins. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and cook for 1 min more until the seeds are toasted and the salmon cooked through.
• Stir the spring onions and coriander through the rice and serve topped with the salmon fillet. Spoon over any excess marinade left in the baking tray, and add a squeeze of lime. Serve the steamed pak choi alongside.
