Instructions

1. Put the rice in 1/2 liter of lightly salted water and cook without a lid over low heat for 10-12 minutes.
2. In a frying pan, heat some butter and olive oil at high heat, add the salmon fillets, and then cook for 5-6 minutes on each side over medium heat, turning only once, adding lightly pepper and salt.
3. In the meantime, prepare the sauce: Peel and core the 1/4 net melon, cut into larger pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Core the peppers and add roughly chopped. Add the juice of 1/2 lime, a dash of honey and the peeled ginger, chilli and paprika powder. Add some fish stock. Puree everything finely with the magic wand.
4. Heat some vegetable stock in a small saucepan, add the pureed sauce and bring to a simmer. Add a little butter, slowly reduce the sauce over low heat. (At the end of the cooking time, it must be very creamy and almost viscous.)
5. Pour the rice into a sieve, return it to the hot pot, add the chopped, fresh dill, a little salt and a little lemon juice.
6. For the eye: pile the rice on a large, white, preheated plate, add a mirror of melon sauce on the edge, drizzle the cooked fillet with a little lemon juice and serve on top. Place a thin slice of lemon for the garnish and add some fresh dill.
