What you'll need
Enough for however many you're feeding, I cook for 2.
Main ingredients
- Salmon
- Root ginger
- Lime
- Corriander (optional)
Fresh/ frozen
- Garlic
Store cupboard
- Soy sauce
- Honey
- Olive oil
- Mirin (optional)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
What to do
- In a bowl, grate the zest of a lime, 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, a thumb sized piece of ginger. Add 2-3 tbsp soy sauce, a tsp honey, the juice of half the lime (or a tsp or 2 of mirin if you prefer). Give everything a good mix. Pop the salmon fillets in with the sauce and make sure it's well coated with the sauce. Allow to marinate for 10-15 mins.
- Cook the salmon to your liking. You could use the grill, oven or as I did, pan fry.
- Serve up with your choice of side dish. I cooked some broccoli and tossed it in a little sesame oil and garnished with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
