Chilli & Coriander Salmon

15 Jul

 

I absolutely love love love Salmon. Knowing that it is packed full of Omega 3’s somehow makes it taste better knowing that it is good for me too. For a quick weeknight meal after a PUMP class when I want to have some protein to rebuild my tired muscles I cook this. I use a chilli coriander sauce from Costi’s to make it really quick. If it isn’t a school night and I have more time I sometimes make my own sauce but this marinade/ sauce is awesome. It tastes great and saves a lot of time.

                          

Chilli Coriander Salmon (Serves 2) 

2 salmon fillets

¼ cup Chilli coriander sauce from Costi’s (pictured above)

 

 

 Preheat oven to 180°C. Lay salmon fillets on a big piece of foil, shiny side up, that is on top of a baking tray.

 

 Spoon sauce over the top of each fillet.

 

Seal foil package tightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on how you like your salmon. Serve with whatever vege’s take your fancy.  This time I made a cheesy broccoli and cauliflower bake, which BRW loved. Usually I bake some red capsicum, zucchini and squash at the same time so it’s nice and colourful and very healthy.

 

I like my salmon well done so I bake mine for 20 minutes. I use the white juices as an indicator for when it’s ready.

Chilli prawn dumplings

23 Jun

After watching the Masterchef contestants cooking dim sims in Hong Kong I was inspired to make my chilli prawn dumplings for dinner tonight. I marinated the prawns in a spicy chilli, garlic, soy and lime marinade and left them in the fridge whilst I did my pilates DVD. Then I assembled my dumplings whilst watching/listening to Masterchef. I added grated zucchini and carrot, mushrooms, cabbage and water chestnuts. This is what they looked like before I cooked them.

I decided to steam some in my steamer baskets, which are only big enough for 4 in each basket, so I had to steam the others in a fry pan. 

 

There was a recipe in Better homes and gardens which says to fry dumplings in oil for 1 minute to brown bottoms and then add water, cover and steam. This worked last time I made them but this time I dont think there was enough oil so they stuck to the frypan.

 

The dumplings in the steam basket came out perfectly. I also made a soy & lime dipping sauce with some fresh chilli from my plant that Emilio gave me. It complemented the chilli prawn dumplings perfectly.

 

  Looking forward to yum cha this Sunday at Kam Fook.
