Cooking Steps

1

Add the water (for the rice) to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek.

2

While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the zucchini into sticks. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Cut the red onion into wedges. Finely chop the garlic.

3

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic and Sri Lankan spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the brown sugar, butter, soy sauce and water (for the curry) and cook until thickened, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the baby spinach leaves until wilted. Season to taste.

4

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides. When the oil is hot, add the salmon, skin side down, and cook until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!

5

While the salmon is cooking, zest the lime (see ingredients list) to get a generous pinch, then slice into wedges. In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice and the remaining Greek yoghurt, a drizzle of olive oil and season to taste. Set aside.

6

Divide the rice between bowls and top with the Sri Lankan curry sauce and salmon. Serve with the lime yogurt and any remaining lime wedges.
