Oven-Baked Salmon with White & Black Sesame Seeds

The children are enormous salmon-lovers so I make this for them often.

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

For those who’re postpone with the time it takes to boil rice, you’ll be able to at all times use a microwavable sachet discovered at most supermarkets. I prefer to boil up an enormous pan then maintain it within the fridge to make use of for a couple of 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 prefer to help. I’m vegan so fry some tofu over the rice as a substitute.
