Method

  2. Add the broccoli to the steamer pan/basket over simmering water and steam for 3-4 minutes, then refresh under cold running water. Set aside.
  3. Add the salmon to the steamer (discard the marinade in the bowl) and steam the fish for 5-6 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the seeds in a dry frying pan for 1 minute then, off the heat, stir in the remaining ½ tbsp soy sauce and ½ tbsp honey. Leave to cool.
  4. Meanwhile, reheat the rice according to the pack instructions, then divide between 2 bowls. To each bowl add half the broccoli and avocado and a salmon fillet. Toss the cucumber in the remaining soy/lemon dressing, then share between the bowls. Serve with cress/herbs and pickled veg, with the sticky seeds scattered over.
