Ingredients
- zest of 1 orange, plus 3 tbsp juice
- 1 tbsp clear honey
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce* or tamari
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 250ml vegetable stock* (made using ½ stock cube)
- 100g basmati rice
- 1 x 240g pack of 2 salmon fillets, skin removed
- ½ x 30g pack coriander, chopped
- 1 x 80g pack pomegranate seeds
- 10g toasted flaked almonds
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Put the orange zest in a small pan with 2 tablespoons orange juice, the honey and soy. Stir together, then heat gently to combine. Increase the heat and reduce for 2-3 minutes to a sticky glaze. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a medium pan and cook the onion over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes until softened and pale golden. Pour in the stock, add the rice and bring to the boil. Stir, then cover the pan and cook on a very low heat, undisturbed, for 15 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, put the salmon on a lined baking tray, brush with the glaze and bake for 10 minutes or until cooked through.
-
Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir in 1 tablespoon of orange juice, the coriander, pomegranate and almonds. Season to taste and serve with the glazed salmon.
*Use tamari, not soy, and gluten-free stock, if required.Good to knowJuicy, jewel-like pomegranate seeds add a pop of colour and crunch to any meal and are also a source of vitamins and minerals, including powerful antioxidants.
