    This was really yummy, very light and so easy to make. I was a little hesitant to microwave the salmon but it turned out fine. I swapped the brown rice for white as I have a fussy boyfriend but all in all a great, quick, easy recipe for a summers evening (and lunch the next day!)

    Tasty and very healthy. My boyfriend loved it and he would not normally eat brown rice. Easily adapted to use different veg and I now cook it about once a week. I used double the amount of sauce to make it more flavoursome. Cooked the salmon in a foil parcel in the oven rather than microwaving it.

    Gorgeous guilt-free dish. Ideal for taking into work. I cooked the Salmon on the grilled after seasoning it with a garlic & chilli grinder and then flaked it into the rice.

    This was healthy and fresh but slightly boring! Maybe increasing the quantity of dressing as suggested would jazz it up a bit.

    Lovely combination of flavours - really fresh and the overall dish is rather unusual.

    tasty meal enjoyed by whole family. I baked the salmon in olive with some sprigs of dill (my mum didn't think the microwave was a good idea!)
