Rinse, trim and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Rinse the pepper and halve it. Scoop out the seeds and white bits. Roughly chop it. Rinse the chilli and halve it. Flick out the seeds and white bits for a milder flavour. Finely chop it.

Slice the skin from the salmon using a sharp knife (you don't have to do this if you don't want to). Chop the salmon into bite-sized chunks. Pop on a plate to one side. Fill the kettle and boil it.

Tip the rice into a small pan. Pour in 250ml hot water from the kettle. Cover and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down. Simmer for 6 mins till all the water is absorbed. Take off the heat. Steam, lid on, for 2-4 mins till the rice is cooked.

Hot flush
We've included a chilli but there is also chilli in the Thai red curry paste, so if you like a milder curry then just leave the chill out.
