Ingredients

200 grams piece salmon, skin on

2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped finely, plus extra to serve

1 small garlic clove, crushed

1/4 tsp chilli flakes

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp lemon juice

80 grams Greek yoghurt

125 grams microwave brown rice, heated

Method

1.Rub salmon fillet with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Season all over with salt flakes.

2.Cook salmon, skin-side down, in a heated frying pan or on a barbecue flat plate for 4 minutes or until skin is crisp and browned. Turn, cook for a further minute or until done as desired. Salmon is best served a little rare in the centre.

3.For the herb yogurt, combine the parsley, fresh coriander, garlic, chilli flakes, ground cumin and coriander and lemon juice; mix until smooth. Stir in yoghurt and season.

4.Serve salmon fillet with herb yoghurt, brown rice. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and extra parsley, if desired.

Cook the salmon in an air fryer – preheat to 200C for 3 minutes. Rub salmon with oil, then sprinkle with salt flakes. Line the air fryer basket with a silicone mat, if available. Place salmon, skin-side up, in the basket; cook for 8 minutes until skin is crisp and salmon is cooked to your liking.
