Prep Time 30 minutes, plus 1 hour's soaking time

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

For the rice:

250 g Woolworths Blue Elephant Thai black rice, rinsed and soaked for 1 hour
4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 x 250 g sides Woolworths lightly smoked salmon side
Olive oil, for rubbing
Sea salt, to taste
1 x 60 nnet g pu Woolworths bulk baby herb leaves
1½ ripe avocado, diced
6 spring onions, sliced

For the dressing, mix:

2 red chillies, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
15 g Italian parsley
4 T olive oil
½ lemon, juiced
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Place the rice and stock in a saucepan and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender but with a slight bite, about 25–30 minutes.
Drain and set aside to cool. Slice the salmon into bite-sized pieces and rub with olive oil and sea salt. Place in a nonstick pan over a very high heat, skin side down. Cook until the skin begins to release from the pan.
Turn and fry for 1–2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Divide the herbs between 4 plates, top with the rice, salmon, avocado, spring onions and dressing. Season to taste.

Cook's note: Black rice is a wholegrain with a mild nutty flavour similar to brown rice. It's popular in Thai and Indonesian cooking. Try making this salad with brown and wild rice instead of black. Both have a delicious, nutty flavour.
