Salmon with Rice and Sauce
Serves 3 Difficulty 3/5 Ingredients 7 Steps 24
Ingredients
- 250 g Atlantic salmon fillet (fresh or thawed)
- 3 dl (300 ml) uncooked jasmine rice
- 5.75 dl (575 ml) water
- 1 dl (100 ml) crème fraîche
- 0.5 dl (50 ml) hot sauce
- 100 g carrots
- 100 g frozen peas
Steps
Preparation
- If using frozen salmon, put plastic-packaged fillets in the sink or a larger pot. Fill with 40°C water so the package floats. Soak until thawed.
- Set oven to 170°C, heat source top and bottom.
Rice
- Place uncooked rice in stock pot.
- Fill pot with cold water to cover rice.
- Pour water and rice into a sieve or colander in the sink. Drain all water; some rice may stay in the pot.
- Transfer drained rice back to the stock pot with a large spoon, getting all rice.
- Add water to the pot. Stir to combine, making sure all rice is in the water. Put on lid.
- Put pot on stove over highest heat. Check regularly. When rice boils, reduce heat to low, at most a low simmer.
- Cook 20 minutes, until water is absorbed and rice is cooked.
Salad
- Place carrots on cutting board.
- Place kitchen knife and peeler on cutting board.
- Rinse carrots under cold water.
- Peel carrots.
- Cut carrots into 4 equal-length pieces. Cut each in the middle.
- Put carrots in an empty soup plate.
- Put frozen peas in the strainer over a plate or soup bowl. Pour water on them to thaw quickly; cold water works.
Salmon
- When salmon is fully thawed, open container. Drain off liquids.
- Put salmon in a cake pan.
- Wash hands. Discard salmon packaging.
- Put crème fraîche in a bowl with a spoon. Leave spoon in bowl.
- Add hot sauce to crème fraîche. Mix with spoon into a mostly homogeneous sauce.
- Pour sauce over salmon in the cake tin to cover fully.
- Put cake tin in preheated oven. Bake 15 minutes.
- Serve salmon with rice and salad.
