Method

Step 1

Cook the rice following pack instructions. Put the salmon on a non-stick baking tray, mix 2 tsp of the lemon juice with ½ tsp of the cumin, season and rub all over the salmon.
Step 2

Heat the grill to high. Mix the rest of the lemon juice, zest and cumin with the onion and olive oil, and put in a large bowl. Drain the rice really well then add to the onions, season and toss.
Step 3

Grill the salmon for 5 minutes, then cool a little.
Step 4

Flake the salmon into chunks, discarding any skin and bone, add to the rice with the cucumber, tomato and herbs, and toss gently. Serve with extra lemon wedges.
