Baked Salmon Salad

As I have recently written a blog on the importance of fish in the diet (read here), I thought it would be best to also give you an easy, quick and delicious way you can make a meal using Salmon.

Quick tip!

• You can swap the Salmon for another type of fish to keep things interesting

• You can swap the brown rice for other grains like quinoa, lentils, buckwheat, etc. A fantastic source of fibre, plant-based protein, and vitamins and minerals!

• Ensure you add a dressing to your salad as fat is necessary for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins!

• Instead of a fresh salad, you can steam up some vegetables of your choice!

Recipe (serves 4)

Method

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade

• Cook the rice or chosen grain according to the packet instructions.

• Combine oil and seasoning.

• Rub the salmon with the seasoning mixture.

• Bake the salmon at 180 degrees centigrade for 8-12 minutes.

• Plate up your salad with the rice and salmon and serve immediately or cool and refrigerate for the next day.
