Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. Rinse the rice, then cover with 140 ml cold water and a pinch of salt (half a teaspoon). Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes until tender and water is absorbed.

  2. Pat the salmon1 dry, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon4: slice some into rounds and squeeze juice from the rest.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Place the salmon1 skin-side down and sear for 4–5 minutes until golden brown.

  4. Flip the salmon1 and cook for another 3 minutes until the flesh is firm and opaque; remove from heat.

  5. Add frozen broccoli3 to boiling salted water and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Drain, then toss with butter5 and lemon4 juice.

  6. Serve the rice on a plate, topped with broccoli3 and salmon1, and garnish with lemon4 wedges.

Tips

Why it works
Salt the salmon before frying so the skin crisps evenly and sticks to the pan. Under-salted skin won’t brown properly.
Substitutions
Use frozen broccoli straight from the freezer. No thawing needed. Replace butter with 10g olive oil if needed.
Common mistakes
Overcooking salmon makes it dry and flaky; check doneness by pressing gently. It should feel firm but still slightly soft.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or refrigerate for 1 day; reheat rice and broccoli in a microwave for 1 minute, warm salmon in a dry pan for 1 minute.
Serve with
Pair with a simple cucumber-tomato salad for a light, balanced meal on a weekday.
