I have been doing quite a bit of recipe improvisation lately. That is – not following a recipe when making something new, but just using what I know to make up new dishes. I must admit, it’s quite exciting not quite knowing how something may turn out, but oh so satisfying when something like this is the result!
I used all fresh and delicious ingredients and a few staples such as broccoli, tomato, soy sauce, and chilli. This was super easy for a mid-week dinner and high in omega-3 thanks to my friend the salmon fillet.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Juice from ½ lemon
- 2 Salmon fillets
- handful of sugar snap peas
- handful of broccoli
- 2 large handfuls of baby spinach leaves
- 1 large tomato, seeds removed and chopped
- ½ avocado, sliced
- small handful of parsley, chopped
- 1 carrot, shredded
Dressing:
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Juice from ½ lemon
- Spring onions, sliced
- 1 red chilli, sliced
Method:
- Marinate salmon in soy sauce and lemon juice for 20 minutes, then grill to your preference.
- Blanch the broccoli and sugar snap peas for 1 minute in boiling water, then refresh under cold water and shake to dry.
- Combine with rest of salad ingredients.
- Make dressing with soy sauce, spring onions, chilli and lemon juice and toss with salad.
- Serve with salmon on side.
