Rice with Peas and Salmon
Simple Recipes Fish and Seafood Gluten-Free Recipes Rice
Another one with salmon. For this combination I used the thin edges from a whole salmon fillet, the ones I usually trim off and make patties from. This time I decided to use them differently... It turned out as a sort of balanced salad.

200g peas (frozen)

How to prepare rice with peas and salmon
- Sprinkle the salmon with salt and black pepper and then brush with 1 tablespoon of oil. Bake in the oven at 200C for 20 minutes (if it's a regular fillet, but if you're also using the edges from a large fillet which are thinner than the main area, then bake only 10-15 minutes).
- Chop the dill, parsley, green onion. Add a little salt, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and let it macerate.
- Put a pot of salted water to boil. Cook the peas until done (according to package instructions). Remove the peas with a slotted spoon into a bowl.
- In the water where the peas cooked, add the rice. Cook it too according to package instructions. When done, drain and add over the peas.
- Over the macerated herbs add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix.
- Break the salmon into smaller pieces and squeeze 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over it. Add the salmon to the bowl over the rest of the ingredients.
- Now mix everything well, tasting for salt. It's good warm or at room temperature.
