Tomato Rice and Sweet Chilli Salmon

Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

Tomato Rice

  • Small bowlful of chopped veg - anything and any amount you like. I usually go for about a mugs worth of veg per person (carrots, peppers, green beans and broccoli)
  • 6 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs
  • Half a stock cube
  • 3 tbsp tomato puree
  • Mugful of rice - or just less than you'd usually have for 2 portions
  • Half a tin of tomatoes

Salmon

  • 2 tbsp gluten free soy aka tamari
  • Squeeze of honey
  • Squeeze of Sweet Chilli Sauce

Veg on the side - optional!

  • Whatever you fancy! Corn? Green beans? Peas?

Instructions

Get the rice going!

  • Chop the cherry tomatoes into halves
  • Add the cherry tomatoes and bowl of veg to a saucepan. Add the mixed herbs and a dash of oil or water and cook on a medium temp for 5 mins or until just softening.

Time to get the salmon on

  • Turn the oven to 180oC.
  • Lay a piece of foil on a baking tray. Place the pieces of salmon on the foil. Sprinkle on the gf soy and honey.
  • Wrap the parcel up and place into the oven for as long as required (mine usually takes 20-25 mins from fresh).

Finish the rice - it can sit in the pan & off the heat for as long as needed so don't worry if you finish this before the salmon has cooked.

  • Add the stock cube and tomato puree and mix through.
  • Add the rice and mix through.
  • Add 600ml of boiling water and half a tin of tomatoes.
  • Bring to the boil then immediately reduce to a simmer and keep simmering until the liquid has ALMOST evaporated, stirring regularly. It'll look like the picture.
    >When the liquid has almost gone, the rice should be nearly cooked (ie. only have a slight bite to it). If yours is still very, add some more boiling water and keep simmering until you've reached this stage.
    >This stage usually takes 15 mins
  • At that point, put a lid on the pan and remove from the heat. Leave to sit for 5 mins, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
    *Also cook any other veg you'd like!*

Plate up

  • Take your salmon out of the oven, place onto your plate and drizzle with sweet chilli.
  • Add the rice and any other veggies you'd like.
  • Enjoy!!
