Ingredients

For the Salmon Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ small chilli pepper, deseeded and chopped
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 Lime

For the Jeweled Salad

  • 1 cup Long grain rice with wild rice
  • ½ cup Quinoa
  • 1 cube Vegetable stock
  • 4-5 Spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 6 inches Cucumber, diced
  • Half a medium red Pepper, diced
  • 4 small radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 fresh Apricots, chopped

For the Dressing

Instructions
 

Salmon Marinade

  • Mix all the ingredients together and pour the marinade over the salmon and leave to marinate for around 30 minutes in the fridge.  Spoon marinade over the salmon once or twice during the 30 minutes.

Salmon

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.  Roast the salmon for around 20 minutes until cooked through, I like it slightly crispy around the edges and do roast for a little longer if necessary.
  • Let the salmon cool, then refrigerate until needed.

Jewelled Rice and Quinoa Summer Salad

  • Cook the rice and quinoa in the vegetable stock in separate pans. Once cooked, let both cool, then combine and set aside.
  • Combine the cooked rice and Quinoa with the salad ingredients and spread onto a large serving plate.  Chop the cooked Salmon into small cubes and dot around the plate.   Once served, mix the dressing ingredients together, then pour over the individual servings.
