Method

  1. Rinse the broccoli3 and cut into florets about 3 cm in size; salt the water for boiling and bring to a boil.

  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions until tender; drain excess liquid and keep warm.

  3. Season the salmon1 evenly with salt and pepper on both sides; heat part of the oil in a skillet before frying.

  4. Fry the salmon1 skin-side down over medium heat for 4 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the center starts to set.

  5. Flip the salmon1 and fry another 2–3 minutes to your preferred doneness; remove from heat when the flesh yields to pressure and isn’t too pink inside.

  6. Blanch broccoli3 in salted boiling water for 4 minutes, then drain and lightly dress with oil; arrange the rice and salmon1 on a plate, and garnish with lemon4 juice if desired.

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.
