  4. Season the gazpacho with salt and black pepper, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the salmon with salt and black pepper, roast for 14-15 minutes.
  6. Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan and fry the rice discs for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Flake the salmon, ladle chilled gazpacho into bowls, top with crispy rice and salmon, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with black pepper.
