Ingredients
  

  • 2 atlantic salmon portions
  • 1 bag microwave wholegrain rice
  • 1 red chilli
  • 2 spring onions
  • cracked black pepper to season
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 200 g asparagus

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Lightly oil the salmon portions and add a pinch of cracked black pepper if desired. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil.
  • Place the salmon in the griddle pan and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Finely dice the chilli and slice the spring onions. Set aside.
  • In the pan of boiling water, blance the asparagus for 2-3 minutes, until just cooked but still firm.
  • Turn the salmon over and add the asparagus to the pan. This can be done once the salmon is cooked and removed from the pan if necessary. Cook for 3-4 minutes, occasionally turning.
  • Heat the rice as per pack instructions. Once hot, add in the chilli and spring onion and mix thoroughly. Divide between two plates, lay the asparagus on the plates and top with the salmon, finishing with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

It is recommended by health professionals to incorporate an oily fish into your diet at least once a week - salmon is a perfect option as it is packed full of essential fatty acids.
