Ingredients

3 carrots, cut into 1 cm rounds 300 g
1 leeks, cut into 2 cm pieces 300 g
300 g salmon fillet
3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed 1 lemon
1/4 tsp salt 2 g

1/2 tbsp gingerroot, chopped 7 g
2/3 cup brown rice 100 g
2 tbsp fresh mint 6 g

Before you start

Keep the serving plates warm on the stove while you're preparing the dish.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F.
  2. Prepare the carrots and cut them into rounds about 1 cm thick. Prepare the leeks, remove about ¼ of the dark-green part, and cut them into 2 cm pieces.
  3. Put the salmon fillet, skin-side down in a casserole dish. Add the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer the vegetables to the casserole, around the fish. Add the oil, minced ginger, salt and pepper. Mix well to coat thoroughly the vegetables with oil. Cover, then put in the oven and bake for 30 min.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the rice.
  6. Finely chop half of the mint leaves then add them to the dish, mix and continue baking for about 10 min more. Check with a fork to see if the fish is cooked through. Garnish with the remaining mint leaves and serve on warmed plates with the rice.
