THAI COCONUT RICE WITH SALMON

Sarah Randell serves up a summer one pot with big Thai flavours - great for relaxed entertaining

Provided by Sarah Randell

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

20g pack of fresh coriander
3 limes
2 x 400ml cans coconut milk
2 tbsp light olive oil
25g butter
2 shallots , finely chopped
90g jar Thai red curry paste (we used Bart's spices)
500g basmati rice
4 lime leaves , fresh or freeze dried
6 skinless salmon fillets , each weighing about 140g/5oz
3 tbsp soy sauce (we used Kikkoman's)
2 tsp golden caster sugar
4 spring onions
1 plump red chilli , seeded and finely chopped
simple green salad , to serve

Steps:

  • You will need a wide-based shallow casserole about 30cm in diameter, or a deep-sided sauté pan, with a tight-fitting lid as the salmon needs to steam in a single layer. Pick the coriander leaves off the stalks, finely chop the stalks and put the leaves in a bowl. Grate the zest of one of the limes. Set aside. Pour both cans of coconut milk into a large jug, then fill one of the empty cans with cold water and stir this into the jug.
  • Heat the oil and butter in the pan over a lowish heat, tip in the shallots and sizzle gently for about 5 minutes, stirring, until they start to turn golden. Stir the curry paste in and cook for another minute.
  • Take the pan off the heat and add the lime zest, coriander stalks, rice and a heaped teaspoon of salt, then mix everything together until the rice is coated in the curry paste. (You can prepare this up to two hours ahead.)
  • Pour the coconut milk mixture over the rice and stir. Bring to simmering point on a medium heat, stirring gently now and then. Get the spoon right to the bottom of the pan so the rice doesn't stick to it. Scatter in the lime leaves and leave everything to simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir the rice once more, then lay the salmon fillets on top. Cover and leave to barely simmer over a very low heat for 15-20 minutes until the salmon looks cooked and the rice is tender. Cook everything very gently or you will have crunchy rice on the bottom and no liquid left.
  • While the fish is cooking, juice two of the limes (the grated lime and another) and in a small bowl mix the juice with the soy sauce and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Trim the spring onions, then split lengthways and slice into thin strands on the diagonal. Mix the spring onions and chilli with the coriander leaves. Cut the third lime into six wedges.
  • When the rice and fish are ready, take the pan off the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes. To serve, scatter a third of the coriander salad over everything in the pan. Spoon some coconut rice on each plate, then, using a fish slice, put a salmon portion on top. Drizzle with some of the soy and lime dressing and scatter a spoonful of the coriander salad on top. Give everyone a lime wedge to squeeze over it. Serve the remaining dressing if anyone wants extra, and a side salad.

Seared Salmon with Thai Vegetables image

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Rice     Vegetable     Sauté     Coconut     Salmon     Spice     Spring     Healthy     Sesame     Soy Sauce     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Salmon
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
4 6- to 7-ounce salmon fillets with skin
Dressing
6 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oriental sesame oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sugar
Rice
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup basmati rice
1 cup water
2/3 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Thai Vegetables

Steps:

  • For salmon:
  • Mix first 7 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons spice mixture over each fillet. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • For dressing:
  • Whisk vinegar and next 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. for rice: Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add rice and sauté until rice begins to turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup water and coconut milk and bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat to low; cook until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets, flesh side down, to skillet. Sear until brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn fillets over and sear skin side until salmon is just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • Spoon rice onto plates, dividing equally. Top each serving with seared salmon fillet, then Thai Vegetables. Drizzle dressing around and serve immediately, passing extra dressing separately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep orange or pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of white streaks, as these will be dry and less flavorful.
  • Marinate the salmon. Marinating the salmon in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to keep it moist and flavorful. You can marinate the salmon for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the salmon for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is just cooked through.
  • Make the Thai curry sauce while the salmon is cooking. This will give the sauce time to develop its flavors. You can make the sauce ahead of time and reheat it just before serving.
  • Serve the salmon with the Thai curry sauce and basmati rice. This is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Conclusion:

Grilled salmon with Thai curry sauce and basmati rice is a flavorful and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the Thai curry sauce is rich and creamy. The basmati rice is a great addition to this dish, as it soaks up all of the delicious flavors. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
