Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Wrap each beetroot in foil and roast for 20-25 mins, until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the rice following the pack instructions. Heat 1 tbsp oil and butter in a pan and fry the onion until golden. Drain the rice and add to the pan with the onion; mix well.
  3. Brush the salmon with oil and fry in a pan, skin-side down, for 3 mins. Turn over and cook for 1 min until cooked through. Remove to a plate.
  4. In the same pan, add the greens and a splash of water and cook until wilted. Peel the beetroot and cut into cubes. Toss the beetroot and greens through the rice mixture. Flake in the salmon, then scatter over the tarragon; toss to combine. Divide between 4 plates.
