We have partnered up with Tilda rice for this vibrant and delicious chilli and cumin salmon rice recipe. We’ve used Tilda long grain rice and added peas, with spring onion and coriander bringing in a lovely freshness. The salmon steaks are poached in our delicious Chilli and Cumin Salad Dressing and finished with zesty lime wedges and and extra drizzle of dressing.
250g (1.5 cups) Tilda Long Grain Rice
450ml (2.5 cups) water
Salt
4 salmon steaks (500g), skin removed
3 tablespoons Chilli and Cumin Dressing, plus extra for drizzling
3 spring onions, sliced
200g frozen peas, boiled breifly
Large handful fresh coriander, chopped
2 limes, each cut into 4 wedges
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Serves 4
1. To make perfectly fluffy rice, pour the 450ml water into a saucepan with a large pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Add the rice and stir to level out, then put the lid on and gently simmer for around 12 minutes (do not stir during cooking and keep the lid on), all the water will be absorbed when the rice is cooked.
2. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the Chilli and Cumin dressing into a sauté pan, add the salmon steaks and drizzle over the remaining one tablespoon of Chilli and Cumin Dressing, season with salt and black pepper and cover with a well fitting lid. Simmer on a low to medium heat, the salmon should be poached in around 12-15 minutes, the flesh will be opaque all the way through to the the centre of the steaks when cooked through
3. In a large serving bowl, fluff up the rice and add the peas, spring onion and coriander, stir well to combine. Flake up half of the cooked salmon and stir in gently. Break up the remaining salmon into chunks and place on the top of the rice, top with the lime wedges and a final drizzle of Chilli and Cumin Dressing. Can be enjoyed hot or cold.
