    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Cook brown rice following packet instructions, or until al dente. Drain. Toss rice with 1 teaspoon each of the sesame oil and the sesame seeds.

    2 Meanwhile, brush salmon with remaining sesame oil. Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue hotplate to medium-high. Cook salmon for 2 minutes each side, for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cool for 5 minutes. Flake into chunks with a fork.

    3 In a small bowl combine soy sauce, lemon juice, mirin and ginger to make ponzu dressing.

    4 Divide rice, salad leaves, cucumber, carrots and radishes between serving bowls. Top each with salmon and drizzle with ponzu dressing. Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check soy sauce is gluten free.

    You can substitute radishes with half a small red onion, thinly sliced, but it won’t be FODMAP-friendly.
