This one-dish meal gets infused with Asian flavours thanks to the nutty basmati rice and soy sauce. The addition of the bright coloured vegetables stirred into the rice provide cheeriness to the plate and make this recipe a complete meal but you can also pair it with a side of steamed broccoli if you'd like. You can use fresh or frozen salmon fillets. If you use frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator the day before for the best texture and quality. Cook the rice while the salmon is seared and the tomato and garlic are sautéed. The spinach will quickly wilt once mixed into the piping hot rice. You can use black or white chia seeds. Find them in the health-food section of most supermarkets.
