One Pot Salmon With Lemon Cardamom Rice
Description
This recipe starts by soaking barberries in a simple sugar syrup to soften them. Onions, cardamom pods, and cloves are gently caramelized in olive oil, releasing warm spices and sweet notes. Basmati rice, lemon zest, and drained barberries are stirred in before adding hot water and salt. The mixture cooks covered over low heat until the rice is tender.
About eight minutes before the rice finishes cooking, salmon fillets are placed on top and steamed until done. Once removed from heat, the dish rests briefly before the fresh dill and toasted almond flakes are stirred in, adding brightness and crunch. The final dish balances fragrant, spiced rice with tender salmon and nutty accents, making it a wholesome one-pot option.
