Instructions

1

a) Boil a half-full kettle.

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 0.25 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

2

a) Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper, then season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish.

3

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

b) Once hot, carefully place the salmon into the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 mins, then lower the heat to medium. TIP: To get crispy skin on the fish, don't move it around when it's cooking skin-side down. Turn and cook the remaining three sides for 2-3 mins each. IMPORTANT: The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

c) When the salmon is cooked, set aside for now. Put the pan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

b) Once hot, add the curry powder and korma curry paste. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.

4

a) Stir in the passata, veg stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil, then simmer, 5-8 mins, until the sauce has thickened.

b) Once the sauce has thickened, add the salmon back into the pan and turn to coat in the sauce.

5

a) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. Stir the peas and mango chutney into the curry.

b) Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

c) Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

6

a) Share the rice between your serving bowls.

b) Spoon over your salmon masala.

Enjoy!

Step 2 MOD: Prep the salmon in the same way, then heat the frying pan on high heat. Once hot, fry the salmon skin-side down, 4-5 mins. Turn the heat down to medium and cook the remaining 3 sides, 2-3 mins each. Set aside. Add back into the pan once the sauce has thickened.
