Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan or wok, a grater, a sieve & a measuring jug

Get the rice on & prep the veg

  • Rinse the rice. Zest and halve lime
  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25 mins, then drain. Stir in the juice from half the lime
  • Cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces. Cut the broccoli into thirds. Thinly slice the onion and garlic

Salmon time

  • Heat the large frying pan or wok with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook for 3 mins, then flip, and cook for another 3 mins, until golden
  • Transfer to the lined baking tray and bake for 15 mins, until cooked through

Simmer simmer

  • Reheat the empty salmon pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion, garlic and broccoli
  • Cook for 3-4 mins until softening
  • Add the ground coriander, curry paste and lemongrass puree. Cook for a further minute
  • Stir through the coconut milk, stock, honey, pak choi and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person)
  • Simmer for 5-6 mins, until the sauce has reduced and the veg softened. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Serve the lime rice and peneang curry into bowls with the salmon. Sprinkle the lime zest over the top of the salmon, then spoon over any remaining peneang sauce
  • Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
