Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop your brown onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped onion and cook for 5 min or until softened
Once softened, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 min further
Meanwhile, dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 500ml [650ml] [850ml] boiled water
Add your soft cheese, orzo and vegetable stock to the pan and give everything a good mix up until fully combined, then cook for 6-7 min
Tip: Stir occasionally to stop the orzo sticking to the pan!
Meanwhile, cut your cherry tomatoes in half
Wash your spinach, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and chop it roughly
Tear your basil leaves
Grate your cheddar cheese
Add the chopped spinach, halved tomatoes and grated cheese to the orzo with half the torn basil leaves (save the rest for garnish!)
Season with a generous pinch of salt, give everything a good mix up and cook for 2-3 min or until the spinach has wilted
Meanwhile, season your salmon fillet[s] with a pinch of salt and pepper
Lay the salmon over the spinach & tomato orzo and cook, covered, for 9-10 min further or until the salmon is cooked through – this is your creamy salmon florentine
Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily!
Serve the creamy salmon florentine and garnish with the remaining torn basil
Season with a grind of black pepper
Enjoy!
