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 medium saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a grater, a sieve & a measuring jug

Get the rice on & prep

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, then drain and return to the pan
  • Meanwhile, 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 with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt, then add to the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 3 mins. Flip and cook for another 3 mins, until golden
  • Transfer to the lined baking tray and roast for 15 mins, until cooked through

Simmer the panang curry

  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the broccoli and onion and cook for 3-4 mins, until softening. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the cumin seeds, Thai curry paste, lemongrass puree and garlic. Cook for a further minute
  • Add the creamed coconut, honey, tamari, pak choi and 250ml water (125ml for 1 person)
  • Stir until dissolved and simmer for 5-6 mins, until the sauce has reduced and the veg softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Meanwhile, zest and halve lime

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Stir the juice from half the lime through the rice. Carefully, remove the star anise from the curry, then add a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste
  • Share the panang curry into bowls, with the lime rice alongside. Top with the salmon
  • Sprinkle with the lime zest to finish
