Healthy Citrus Baked Salmon
Salmon cooked the indulgent-but-healthy way: baked in white wine, citrus fruit and tomatoes, and served with brown rice. Delicious! This is great served with steamed mange tout or sugar snap peas - and if you want an even quicker balanced meal, look out for quick-cook brown rice or serve with couscous.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400f.
Place the rice into a large saucepan with 1 cup of cold water.
Bring to the boil over a high heat and leave to simmer for 20 minutes or until tender.
Remove from the heat , season with sea salt to taste , and cover with the lid.
Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile , in a large shallow baking dish , place one lemon slice and one orange slice , just overlapping , next to each other.
Repeat with the other two slices.
Sit each salmon fillet on its own bed of citrus.
Season each fillet with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl mix the dill , sun-dried tomatoes and tomato oil together.
Spoon the mixture over the top of the salmon fillets.
Drizzle with the wine.
Place the baking dish into the oven and cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until the salmon is opaque.
Serve drizzled with the cooking juices and the prepared rice.
