Ingredients
  

Garlic and ginger salmon skewers

  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 2 thumb size pieces of ginger
  • 50-70 g coriander
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 3-4 tbsp of light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp of sweet chilli dipping sauce

Speedy fried rice

  • 4 salmon fillets skin removed
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 1 red pepper finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic roughly chopped

Instructions
 

Garlic and ginger salmon skewers

  • Make a paste with your garlic. You can use a garlic crush or a knife and salt as I do in the video. Add it to a bowl.
  • Peel and grate the ginger into the bowl with the garlic.
  • Finely chop all of the stalks from the coriander and then before you get to the leaves separate 1/3 to garnish with at the end. Chop the remaining leaves and add them to the bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, light soy sauce and sweet chilli dipping sauce. Give it a good mix and if it's too thick add more olive oil to loosen.
  • If your salmon fillets haven't already had the skins removed, you can check out my video to see how I do this.
  • Slice the salmon into inch thick strips. Check out the video to see how I slice them. I go against the grain so to speak. That may not make any sense until you see the video. This stops the salmon breaking up. If you cut them in to chunks instead of strips you might have issues.
  • Give the salmon a really good mix, coating it thoroughly in the marinade.
  • Assemble your skewers with the salmon and placed them into a roasting tin lined deep with tin foil. Cover the skewers with any remaining marinade.
  • At this stage you can cling and move them to the fridge for later or if you are cooking them straight away cook them in a preheated oven 180ºC fan/GM 6 for 15 minutes.

Speedy fried rice and veg

  • Five minutes before the salmon is done add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, onion, pepper and garlic to a pan and fry until soft.
  • Add two pouches of wholegrain Microwave rice and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes.
  • In another pan add the second tablespoon of coconut oil followed by any stirfry veg of your choice.
  • When the salmon is done remove it from the oven and pour the juices from the tin foil into the rice then stir through.
  • Check your salmon is cooked then set aside.
  • I dress my stirfried veg with lime zest and juice and serve the salmon skewers on top of a bed of rice. Sprinkle with coriander to finish and serve immediately.
