Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 thick salmon steaks
2 1/2 cm piece gingerroot, peeled and cut into small, very thin slices
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and cut into small, very thin slices
350 g tomatoes, peeled and halved
1 fresh red chile, de-seeded and sliced as finely as possible
1 small yellow pepper, de-seeded and thinly sliced
4 -6 cardamom pods, roughly crushed
400 ml tinned coconut milk
sea salt
2 limes, juice of, only
fresh mint leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Put the fish steaks in a fairly shallow ovenproof dish with a lid, into which they fit quite closely.
  • Scatter the ginger, garlic, tomato, chili and yellow pepper over and around the fish and the cardamom pods in between.
  • Empty the coconut milk into a separate bowl, add a good sprinkling of sea salt and gradually stir in the lime juice. Pour the mixture gently over and around the fish and cover the dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2. Put the dish on the center shelf and cook for 40-50 minutes, until the fish is lightly done. To discover this insert a small, sharp knife into the center of one of the steaks - if the flesh is slightly darker pink in the center it will be perfectly cooked. Remove from the oven.
  • Before serving scatter the mint leaves on top.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil
1 tablespoon finely diced garlic
2 tablespoons finely diced onion
1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup coconut milk
Salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup jasmine rice
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
Salt and ground white pepper
2 tablespoons butter
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the coconut-tomato sauce: In a saucepan, heat oil and add garlic and onion. Sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add tomato sauce, coconut milk and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Make the creamy jasmine rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups water and the butter. Bring to a boil, add rice, and reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 12 minutes. Remove pan from heat, cover snugly with foil, and allow to sit for another 12 minutes.
  • Combine milk and coconut milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir into cooked rice, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Make the salmon: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place butter in roasting pan large enough to fit salmon fillets, and add 1/4 inch water. Place over medium heat to bring to a boil, then add salmon and cover pan snugly with foil. Place in oven and cook as desired, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Remove fish from pan and drain on paper towels.
  • To serve, reheat sauce. Place an equal portion of rice in center of each of four plates. Top each with a fillet, and pour sauce around rice and salmon. Serve hot.
