Salmon, raw

4 fillet(s), medium, skinless

Cucumber

1 individual, extra large, halved lengthways, deseeded and cut into chunks

Lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4. Cook the rice to pack instructions, then drain and leave to cool.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne pepper and cumin. Put the salmon fillets on a baking tray, mist with cooking spray, then sprinkle with the spice mix. Roast for 8-10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and starts to flake.
  3. Leave to cool, then transfer to the fridge to chill for 10 minutes before flaking into chunks. In a large bowl, mix the cucumber with half the lemon juice and season to taste. Leave to stand for 10 minutes, then drain.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining lemon juice, the zest and yogurt.
  5. Add the rice and salmon chunks to the cucumber and mix gently. Spoon onto a large platter and serve drizzled with the yogurt dressing.

Notes

You could replace the rice with a 400g tin of drained and rinsed green lentils.
