Oven-Baked Salmon with White & Black Sesame Seeds

Posted on

The kids are huge salmon-lovers so I make this for them regularly.

A healthy, low GI, slow releasing, balanced meal bursting with nutrients this dish will keep them full for hours.

If you’re put off with the time it takes to boil rice, you can always use a microwavable sachet found at most supermarkets. I like to boil up a huge pan then keep it in the fridge to use for a few days afterwards.

You can find the sesame seeds in all good supermarkets or Chinese specialist supermarkets.

We have a fishmongers near us we like to support. I’m vegan so fry some tofu over the rice instead.
