    Seared salmon with red rice salad

    1 of your 5 a day

    • Gluten Free
    • Preparation time: 20 minutes
    • Cooking time: 35 minutes
    • Total time: 55 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    200g red camargue and wild rice
    250g podded broad beans (fresh or frozen)
    500g boneless Scottish salmon fillet, skin removed
    1½tbsp olive oil
    1 lemon, zest and juice
    2 tsp dijon mustard
    1 tsp black mustard seeds
    1 small red onion, finely sliced
    70g wild rocket

    Method

    1. Cook the rice according to pack instructions and allow to cool slightly. Cook the broad beans in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until they start to rise to the surface, then drain and refresh in cold water; slip them out of their skins, if liked.
    2. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Brush the salmon with ½ tbsp oil, season and fry on the skinned side for 6-8 minutes, until almost cooked through. Carefully flip and cook for a final 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the lemon zest and juice with the mustard, mustard seeds and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to make a dressing; season.
    3. Toss the rice with the red onion and rocket. Serve with the salmon flaked over the top and drizzled with the dressing.

    FYI:

    Salmon
    Aim for at least one portion (140g) of oily fish a week – salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D (to keep bones and teeth strong).

    Rocket
    Rich in folate (to help combat fatigue), rocket is a source of many micronutrients such as potassium, calcium, thiamin and vitamin C.
