The bright weeknight table
Spiced salmon, cumin rice and cooling cucumber yogurt. Three small jobs, one satisfying plate — no rushed 30-minute promise.
Why this table works
Fish provides protein, rice makes the meal substantial, and cucumber yogurt softens the spice. Keep raw-fish tools away from the ready-to-eat raita.

- Wash and cut the cucumber first. Mix and refrigerate the raita, then measure rice and spices before turning on the heat.
- Start the rice; follow its covered cooking and resting times. Prepare salmon on a separate board while it cooks.
- Cook salmon last and check 145°F (63°C) in the center. Fluff rice and bring out raita just before eating. Allow 45–60 minutes at a beginner’s pace.
