Salmon and Vegetable Biryani

This is a perfectly balanced meal, all cooked together in a super-quick time, for the whole family to enjoy. It’s not too spicy and you can use pre-cooked packs of brown rice for a time-saving hack. You can also use tinned salmon in place of the fresh fillets for a more budget friendly option.

Ingredients

  • cauliflower ½ (chopped)
  • broccoli ½ (chopped)
  • salmon 400 g (chopped)
  • onion 1 (sliced)
  • fresh mint 1 handful (chopped)
  • cucumber ½ (chopped)
  • natural yoghurt 90 ml
  • mild curry paste 3 tbsp
  • ginger 2 tsp (grated)
  • garlic cloves 4 (crushed)
  • lemon ½ (juice)
  • ground turmeric 1 tsp
  • microwave wholegrain rice 440 g
  • sunflower oil 2 tbsp

Method

  • Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into florets. Steam or lightly boil them until just tender, then set aside.
  • Slice the onion. Crush the garlic. Peel and grate the ginger. Remove the skin from the salmon and chop the flesh into small chunks.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sauté the onion for 8 minutes until soft and becoming golden.
  • Meanwhile, make the cucumber and mint yoghurt. Chop the mint leaves. Remove the seeds from the cucumber and finely chop. Mix together with the yoghurt. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
  • Add the salmon, garlic, ginger, curry paste, turmeric and 1 tablespoon of water per serving into the pan. Toss around in the pan for about 2 minutes before adding the cooked rice and steamed vegetables from earlier. Gently stir around in the pan until the salmon is just cooked through and the rice is piping hot.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and season with a pinch of salt. Serve with the cucumber and mint yoghurt. Enjoy!
