Oven-Baked Salmon with White & Black Sesame Seeds

The youngsters are enormous salmon-lovers so I make this for them usually.

A wholesome, low GI, sluggish releasing, balanced meal bursting with vitamins this dish will maintain them full for hours.

In the event you’re delay with the time it takes to boil rice, you possibly can all the time use a microwavable sachet discovered at most supermarkets. I wish to boil up an enormous pan then maintain it within the fridge to make use of for just a few days afterwards.

You’ll find the sesame seeds in all good supermarkets or Chinese language specialist supermarkets.

We now have a fishmongers close to us we wish to assist. I’m vegan so fry some tofu over the rice as an alternative.
