Green Tea Salmon and Coconut Rice

We watched this on Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals several weeks ago and liked the look of it. After a trip to Auckland Fish Market today where we bought salmon it seemed like a good opportunity to give it a go.
While it took more than the '15 minutes' promised it is a good one to add to our repertoire.

When we saw it on TV Jamie only used a couple of tea bags. I used a lot...possibly too many.

The coconut rice was ok but not all of the family liked it so it probably wont be one we make again.



Green Tea Salmon and Coconut Rice

4 x 120g salmon fillets, skin-on

2 green tea bags

Olive oil

Salt / pepper

400g tin of coconut milk

300g basmati rice

½ lemon


method

  1. Fill and boil the kettle
  2. Place the salmon onto a plate, open the green tea bags and shake the green tea over the salmon. Season with salt and pepper and make sure the salmon is evenly coated on all sides.
  3. Pour a small amount of olive oil into a frying pan over a medium heat and place the salmon in the pan, skin side down. Fry the skin side for at least four minutes then periodically turn the salmon until it is golden brown on the other sides.
  4. Wash the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear then add it to a saucepan with the coconut milk, 400g water (refill the coconut milk tin) and half a lemon. Bring the water to a boil then place a lid on the saucepan and turn the heat all the way down. Cook for 10 minutes then turn off the heat.
