Perfect for a weekend brunch, this Smoked Salmon and Vegetable Kedgeree is brim full of health and deliciousness, plus it’s easy to make and only takes 30 minutes.

Smoked Salmon and Vegetable Kedgeree

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I am trying to improve my diet and get more healthy this summer. But don’t worry, I totally love food and I am not about to embark on a diet of lettuce leaves, carrot sticks and apples (gosh that would make for a boring blog, wouldn’t it?). Nor am I about to start making my own nut milk – I love the idea, but let’s face it, I’ve got to be realistic and I just don’t have the time to do such things!

Smoked Salmon and Vegetable Kedgeree

So is it possible to make healthy food easy and delicious? Oh I definitely think so! I’ve been spending the last few weeks gaining inspiration from a variety of places: healthy food magazines, books and blogs and I have been so excited by what I have discovered – there is so much delicious, easy, healthy food out there!!

Smoked Salmon and Vegetable Kedgeree

I’ve mentioned before that I love foodie magazines and lately I’ve been trying to gain inspiration from  the healthier ones on the market. One which I have recently discovered and totally love is ‘Eat Healthy’. It’s full of simple but tasty meals – I have been totally inspired and tried out quite a few. One of my favourite recipes was their healthy take on kedgeree.

Salmon and Vegetable Kedgeree 3

Kedgeree is one of those things I’ve always thought sounded nice but never made because I NEVER have ANY time in the mornings, I literally have time for 2 shredded wheat (the healthiest cereal I could find – no added sugar and wholegrain – yay!) and I’m out the door. But I really liked the idea of this healthy brown rice kedgeree and thought I could adapt it slightly to make it more of a lunchtime dish. Though I think this would make a perfect weekend brunch kind of dish too… (If you are one of those lucky people who actually has time for a lazy weekend brunch – I envy you people!!)

Fry the veg and spices

 

Add the hot smoked salmon

 

Add the brown rice

The main tweak I have made is to lose the poached egg and instead add in some green veg. I’ve also simplified the recipe ever so slightly. The result is super scrumptious, full of nutritiousness and above all EASY! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙂

Smoked Salmon and Vegetable Kedgeree

This recipe is so adaptable – if you don’t have any smoked salmon (or don’t like it), try prawns, smoked haddock or some leftover roast chicken… Or just lose the fish/meat entirely and serve with your favourite kind of eggs for a delicious vegetarian version. And feel free to vary the veg – try peas, baby sweetcorn, peppers, carrots or anything you have left in the fridge. If brown rice just isn’t your thing, then you can absolutely make this with white rice too!

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 300 g easy cook brown rice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 600 ml boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or rapeseed/canola oil, or coconut oil)
  • 3 spring onions sliced finely
  • 100 g green beans trimmed and halved
  • 100 g tenderstem broccoli cut into small pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 cm ginger
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 200 g hot smoked salmon flaked
  • Lime wedges and chopped coriander to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • First, place the brown rice and salt in a medium sized pan and cover with the boiling water. Bring back to the boil, then turn right down and cover with a lid. Cook until all the water has been absorbed (roughly 20 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, prep all the rest of the ingredients, then place the oil in a wok (or large frying pan) and heat for 1 minute. Add in the spring onions, broccoli and green beans.
  • Stir fry the veg on a medium-high heat for 3 minutes then turn the heat down and add in the garlic, ginger and chilli, and fry for 1 more minute.
  • Next, add in the garam masala and turmeric and fry for 1 more minute.
  • Add in the flaked salmon and cook for a further minute, followed by the cooked brown rice and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Serve with lime wedges and chopped coriander.

Notes

  1. I use 'easy cook' brown rice which takes 20 minutes to cook. If you cannot find this, use regular brown rice, but you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  2. Suitable for freezing.
  3. Nutrition information is approximate and meant as a guideline only.

    I can really imagine my parents loving this Eb, they’re such big fans of salmon. I’ll definitely show them when I next see them. I also like the idea of making it vegetarian which we would love too 🙂

    When my eldest (mr fussy himself) was a toddler kedgeree was one of his favourite meals and he used to sit in his high chair demanding kegreeeeee at the top of his little lungs. Sadly his little sister tends to dislike everything that he does like – I’m never sure whether this is an unlucky coincidence or just her being awkward!!! So I’ve totally got out of the habit of making it and had pretty much forgotten about it as a favourite meal. Really must try to reintroduce it as the only fish they eat these days is the odd fish finger! I love how you’ve used green veg here – must give this a go. #CookBlogShare

      Oh Mandy, this made me laugh! My two are exactly the same!! Whatever my daughter hates my son loves and vice versa – there are so many examples: nutella, peanut butter, tomatoes and pretty much in any given meal one of them will like part of it and the other will like the other part of it! I’ve taken to calling them Jack Spratt and wife! But you should so reintroduce kedgeree – it’s such a fab meal and really nice with the green veg. Thank you for your lovely comments 🙂 Eb x

    We love kedgeree! Mrs Why doesn’t eat smoked salmon, but I always try to sneak it in as I think she would like it if she gave it a chance! I’ll give this a go next time we’re having a lazy Saturday 🙂

      Oh no! I don’t understand people who don’t like smoked salmon!?! My brother doesn’t like it either. It’s one of my absolute favourites! You could always use regular salmon (cooked first) or prawns or any other fish really or even some leftover cooked chicken! I take it you haven’t managed to teach Mrs Why your special ways of making yourself like things, then!?! A lazy Saturday would be perfect for this! Eb 🙂

        I plan on hot smoking some salmon on the BBQ, so may utilise this! And Mrs Why loves smoked flavours so this may break her in to salmon! Haha no I always try, but she knows it is entirely psychosomatic and little to do with the flavours. She’s told herself she won’t like it, so that’s the end of it! 😛

          Oooh – good plan! I remember when I first met my husband he didn’t like a whole host of things…broccoli, white wine and whisky being the ones which stick in the mind most vividly – now he likes pretty much everything and absolutely loves broccoli, white wine and whisky!! I think sometimes you just need to give things a go and get used to them. But, like you say, so often not liking something (and not trying to like something) is a decision. I remember making myself drink coffee as a kid…because it seemed a grown up thing to do…I didn’t like it at first – now I am a total coffee nut!! (Though, not sure if that is a good thing or not!) Eb 🙂

            I’ve only just recently started eating broccoli! Mainly in quiches and curries. The whisky and wine were never a problem 😛 hahaha totally agree on the grown up drinks! I’m sure that’s the reason us blokes drink beer and ale! I remember spitting it out and all my uncles laughing at me! 😛
