Method

Combine stock, garlic and lemon rind in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 4-5 mins or until salmon is just cooked through. Transfer the salmon to a plate and cover to keep warm. Strain the stock mixture and reserve. Discard solids.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 3-4 mins or until onion softens. Add the cumin and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until fragrant. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until rice is coated in onion mixture. Stir in reserved stock mixture. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 12-15 mins or until rice is just tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Use a fork to separate grains. Stir in the peas and asparagus. Stand, covered, for 5 mins.

Use a fork to coarsely flake the salmon. Add to the pilaf and gently stir to combine. Season to serve.
