360g black rice
4 blush oranges (or standard oranges out of season)
2½ tbsp toasted sesame oil
2½ tbsp light soy sauce
6 salad onions, finely sliced, white and green parts separated
50g piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 small avocados, cubed
2 x 160g packs Scottish hot smoked salmon fillets with sweet chilli

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the rice, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 18-20 minutes, depending on how much bite you like. Drain well and set aside.
Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, cut the top and base from the oranges so they sit steadily on a board. Carefully slice down the sides of each orange to remove the skin and pith. Cut into 1cm slices and set aside.
Put the sesame oil, soy, the white parts of the salad onions and the ginger into a large mixing bowl and whisk with a fork to combine.
Tip the warm rice into the bowl and stir well to coat in the dressing. Fold in the orange slices and avocado. Divide between plates and top with the salmon fillets. Scatter with the green salad onions to serve.

Cook’s tip

Black rice has a dramatic colour, sweet, nutty flavour and distinctive chewiness that sets it apart. It works really well in substantial salads like this one.
