This breakfast dish was traditionally made with smoked haddock and, in spite of what other recipes say, without spices. This version uses salmon as an alternative and to satisfy my husband's constant need for garlic and chilli, they have been included. You may, of course, leave them out.

  1. Bring the fish stock to a gentle simmer in a pan.

  6. Using the same pan, heat the olive oil.
  7. Add the rice and stir for a minute or two.

  10. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 160° C (325° F - gas 3).
  11. Flake and bone the fish. Skin if desired.
  12. When the rice is cooked, stir in the fish and the butter.

  14. Bake for 15-20 minutes and remove from oven.
  15. Garnish with the chopped egg and parsley.

Variations

Try with any fish that flakes easily. Choose spices according to taste. If you like a smoked flavour and use non-smoked salmon. add 1 teaspoon Pimentón de La Vera dulce to the chilli and garlic powder. Use fresh, crushed garlic instead of the powder.
