HARISSA SALMON PILAF

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan or shallow casserole pot and add the sliced onion. Fry over a medium heat for 10-12 mins or until the onion becomes golden and sticky. Stir in the coriander, turmeric and harissa paste and fry for 1 min.
• Cook the rice in the microwave following pack instructions. Add the rice to the pan and stir everything together, cooking for 5 mins. Stir large flakes of the salmon through the rice (discard any skin) and finish topped with the pistachios, pomegranate seeds, raisins and shredded parsley. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over, if you like.

QUICK SALMON, PRESERVED LEMON & OLIVE PILAF

Steps:

• Put the rice in a saucepan, cover with the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 mins. Turn off the heat and leave the rice to sit for 15 mins without removing the lid.
• Meanwhile, put the salmon fillets on a microwaveable plate, season well and cover with cling film. Cook in the microwave on high for 4 mins until just cooked. When the rice is ready, stir through the spices, preserved lemon, olives, parsley and some seasoning. Flake the salmon and lightly stir through the rice, trying not to break up the fish too much, then serve.
