Ingredients you'll need
  • 150g white basmati rice
  • A thumb of ginger
  • 50g sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • A head of broccoli
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
From your kitchen
  • 300ml boiling water
  • Sea salt
  • ½ tbsp olive, sunflower or
  • coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp cold water
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Tip the rice into a bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside to soak.

  • 2.

    Peel and grate the ginger into a dish. Add the sweet chilli sauce and stir in 1 tbsp of the tamari (keep the rest for later). Stir to mix well, then add the salmon fillets. Gently turn to coat in the sweet chilli marinade and set aside.

  • 3.

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Break the broccoli into small florets, then slice the stalk into 1cm-thick slices and discard the dry end.

  • 4.

    Heat your grill to high. Drain the rice and tip it into a small pan. Pour in 300ml boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Cover, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to low. Gently simmer for 8 mins till all the water has been absorbed. Take the rice off the heat and leave it in the pan, lid on, for 5-10 mins to steam the rice and finish cooking it. It will stay warm in the pan.

  • 5.

    While the rice cooks, line a grill pan or baking tray with foil. Lift the salmon fillets out of the marinade and place them, skin-side down, on the foil. Spoon or brush over a little extra marinade from the dish. Slide under the grill and cook for 5-8 mins till the salmon is pink. You don’t need to turn it over, it will cook all the way through. To check, press with a fork. The salmon will flake easily and its flesh will be opaque.

  • 6.

    While the rice and salmon cook, set a wok or deep frying pan over a high heat. Add ½ tbsp oil and the broccoli. Stir-fry for 2-3 mins till it’s just starting to char and soften. Add the garlic with 1 tbsp of the tamari, 1 tsp sugar and 2 tbsp cold water. Stir fry for 3-4 mins till the wok is aromatic and the broccoli well coated in garlic and tamari.

  • 7.

    Divide the broccoli between 2 warm bowls or plates. Fluff the rice and scoop onto the plates. Add the crisp-skinned salmon fillets and serve straight away.
