question

Do you have to microwave the Salmon? seems sacriligious to do so.

Hi, thanks for your question. You can cook the salmon however you prefer - it could be poached, fried, grilled etc. This was done in the microwave to make it a super quick recipe. As long as you don't overcook it in the microwave it should give you very similar results to poached salmon. We hope…

Made this with quinoa instead of rice and it turned out quite nice!

Loved this! I had salmon and brown rice left over from last night's dinner and this came up in search. Made a few subs... green beans chopped up from the garden instead of soya, and no chilli so I added sweet chilli sauce. But a lovely, zingy and filling salad and will definitely make again!

Easy and tasty mid-week meal. I use jasmine rice instead of basmati so it’s nice and “sticky”, and fry the salmon because fried is so much tastier than microwaved.

This has been one of my favourites for 6 years now, cook this almost every week! It's so quick, easy and healthy. Never cook this in the microwave as it seems more hassle.
