Spicy Salmon Pilaf with Garlic Dip

1 tbsp olive oil
4 salmon fillets
2 onions, finely chopped
A thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1 tsp cumin
300g basmati rice
800ml vegetable stock 
300g baby spinach
200g frozen peas
Small bunch of coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves roughly chopped 1⁄2 lemon, juice only
2 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted
1 pot onion and garlic dip
 
1 Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan (one with a lid) and add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Fry over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning to cook each side, until just cooked through. Remove the fillets from the pan onto a plate, instead adding the onion to fry for 8 minutes. While the onion is cooking, discard the salmon skin and gently flake the fillets into large chunks.
 
2 Add the garlic to the pan and stir in the ginger for kick, cooking for a further minute, then stir in the cumin and rice. Stir well, then pour in the stock to give the rice some richness. Season and cover the pan with its lid, cooking for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
 
3.Add the spinach to the pan and cover with the lid, allowing it to wilt for 2 minutes, then stir through the peas, coriander stalks and most of the leaves.
 
4 Gently fold through the salmon flakes, squeeze over the lemon juice and serve with scattered toasted almonds. Add some creaminess with some generous spoonfuls of the garlic dip, garnishing with a final pinch of coriander.
