Cooking Instructions

• Put some water on to boil for the rice
• Chop/ dice all the vegetables into small chunks
• Sprinkle the seasoning on to the salmon fillet and rub in with spoon
• Put the rice in the boiling water and set a timer for 11 mins
• Dry stir fry the vegetables in a non stick pan as follows
• Start with the red pepper after a couple of minutes add the courgette
• Fry off for a couple more minutes, then add the onion
• At the very end when all the veggies have some colour on them, add the mushroom
• Put a kettle of water on to boil
• Add the balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to the vegetables
• Turn the vegetables to coat them and turn the heat down
• Once the rice is cooked but firm, drain it and rinse with boiling water to flush away excess starch
• Put the vegetables in with the rice and combine. Leave it off the heat.
• Now put a smearing of cooking oil in your stir fry pan, put it on a medium-high heat and add the salmon fillet skin side down
• After 3 mins turn the salmon on to the seasoned side and cook until cooked through. Look for the white milky fats oozing out the sides for a sign it’s ready
• If you have any concerns that the salmon isn’t cooked in the middle, give it 30 secs on medium in the microwave
• Serve! The rice should still be piping hot
