How to make Superfood Rice with Salmon & Spinach Pesto

Place the rice into a large saucepan of boiling water. Simmer over a medium heat for 25 minutes until tender. Drain well.
While the rice is cooking make the pesto. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until finely chopped.
When the rice is almost ready, heat the oil in a frying pan and add the salmon fillets. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side, until golden brown. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the pan and fry for a few minutes until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes have slightly softened.
