This recipe sears salmon fillet in butter, flakes it over rice, and gently folds it in. It is a quick, elegant choice for serving a crowd. With fish instead of meat, it is suitable for those who want seafood.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the rice

10 min

Soak the rice in lukewarm salted water for 10 minutes, then rinse it.

2

Cook the rice

14 min

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pot and sauté the rice for a few minutes. Add the hot water and salt. Once it boils, cover and cook over low heat for 12 minutes.

3

Sear the salmon

5 min

Melt the remaining butter in a separate pan. Add the diced salmon and black pepper and sear for 5 minutes, until cooked through on all sides.

4

Toss and serve

1 min

Gently fold the cooked rice with the salmon pieces, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Serve immediately.

Reminder

Overcooking the salmon can dry it out, so keep the cooking time to 5 minutes. Fold it gently into the rice to keep the grains separate. Contains fish (salmon) and dairy (butter).

Dereotu yerine taze nane kullandım, balık kokusunu bastırmasa da farklı bir ferahlık kattı; sekiz kişilik dedikleri porsiyon bende altı kişiye ancak yetti, o kadar sevildi.

On iki dakikalık pişirme süresinde pirinç tam tane tane oldu, somonu da beş dakika mühürledim ve içi yine sulu kaldı, biraz daha uzatmam gerekebilir. Kalabalık bir davette denedim, herkes ikinci tabağını istedi.
