Half a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger root , freshly ground black pepper

The dressing

3. Heat the olive oil and 2 Tablespoons of water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook 1 crushed garlic clove together with the chard leaves and stems until the leaves wilt. Remove from the heat and add a little lemon juice and pepper.
4. Transfer the salmon fillets onto a plate and serve with the wild rice.

Baking the salmon

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Place the salmon on parchment paper and wrap the parchment paper around the salmon folding at the edges to create an airtight parcel. Place the salmon parcel on a tray and bake on the lower shelf of the oven for around 20minutes

Preparing the wild rice

Soaking the rice overnight will shorten the duration of cooking time, enhance its nutritional value and aid in digestion.

In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine rice (70g per person) and water and bring to the boil. The ratio of water to rice is 3 cups water to 1 cup of rice. Stir once, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for around 45 minutes. (Do not lift the lid or stir) Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes; fluff with a fork and serve.
