She is known for playing the role of DS Claire Stanton in the long running ITV drama The Bill.
She has also appeared in several other television programmes, including A Touch of Frost and Kingdom.
Salaman has recently moved into writing: she has written a play for the National Theatre and a screenplay for Granada Television. She has also written her first novel, Shame on You, and in a related piece recalled her own family upbringing as part of an unnamed religious cult in The Guardian in July 2009.
