Cooking Time20 min
Cooking MethodSkillet
Ingredients
- 1 small broccoli head (organic)
- 400 g salmon fresh
- 350 g Thai jasmine rice
- 3-5 tbsp Tamari sauce
- 3-5 tbsp soy sauce
- 1-2 tsp honey
- 1 tsp ginger (organic) fresh, grated
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (optional)
- 1/2 stem lemon grass
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds mixed, black and white
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
Instructions
-
Wash thoroughly in their rise and set aside.
-
Wash the broccoli and split/cut into florets.
-
Cook the rice according to pack instructions as cooking instructions differ from rice to rice.
-
In a small bowl mix the sauces with the ginger, honey, garlic and the turmeric powder and the lemon grass (bruised and chopped into 1-2 cm long slices).
-
Meanwhile salt the salmon slightly and place the fillets in a pan. Cook (covered) over very low heat until cooked on both sides (about 10 min on each side) and then 2/3 of the mixed sauce. Cook for a further 5 minutes. Turn the fish on both sides so it cooks into the juice for about 2-3 min on each side. Switch off heat and let it cool.
-
In a separate pan cook the broccoli for a very short time covered 2-3 min by sprinkling few drops of water and the sesame oil. Add the remainder 1/3 of the sauce mix and cook for a further 1 min. Avoid picking up any lemon grass piece when cooking the broccoli.
-
Place the cooked rice in a large bowl or the serving dish, mix the fish which needs to be made into chunky flakes and this way you can check there are no bones left. Add the broccoli to the rice and mix again. Sprinkle any sauce left all over the rice but not before picking up the lemon grass from it. Sprinkle the sesame seeds, freshly grind some pepper and go for it!
