Cook the black rice as per the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

While the rice is cooking make the sauce by placing the yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix to combine.

Heat the frying pan over a medium heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the salmon (if with skin, skin side down first) and cook for 5-6 minutes or until cooked to your liking, season with S&P and turning occasionally. Transfer to a plate and set aside for 2-3 minutes.

Place the rice, rocket, cucumber, orange, pomegranate, pine nuts in a medium bowl with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
