Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof pot and fry the onion for 5 minutes, then stir in half the baharat.

  2. 2

    Rinse the basmati rice and add to the pot with the vegetable stock, bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Rub the salmon fillets with the remaining baharat and oil, and lay on top of the rice.

  4. 4

    Cover tightly and bake for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

  5. 5

    Toast the flaked almonds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes until golden.

  6. 6

    Scatter over the almonds and serve.
