  4. While rice and salmon are baking, finely slice second measure of red onion and roughly chop semi-dried tomatoes. Add both to a large bowl and set aside.
  5. When fish has finished cooking, allow to rest at least 5 minutes. Carefully peel skin off salmon and break into large pieces using a fork. Add to bowl with onion and tomatoes. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice.
  6. Uncover baked rice and fluff up grains with a fork. Add rocket and vinegar to bowl with salmon and gently toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
