This is a simple meal that looks a little fancy. You only need to leave the salmon to marinade for half an hour for it to start to take on the flavour so it is also pretty quick! I love the simple cauliflower puree with the salty capers and sharp lemon. Making the lemon and caper sauce with extra virgin olive oil rather than butter also ups the omega 3 situation. Plus it tastes amazing. Win.
Nori Baked Salmon Salad Bowl
That there isn’t salmon skin, oh no it’s a little sheet of nori that adds delicate flavour and protects the salmon as it cooks, making the most delicious salmon noodle salad bowl ever.
Herb Crusted Salmon with a Shaved Asparagus, Fennel and Broad Bean Salad
I first made this dish with my beautiful friend Rachel in Auckland and have spent the last month thinking about it because it was just so delicious. The fresh salad and herb crusted salmon is just the most amazing combination. I’ve used fresh bread crumbs n the salmon crust but you could easily swap for almonds to make it gluten free!
Tandoori Salmon Burgers
I love salmon patties just with a little side salad, but place one between a crusty roll with crunchy lettuce and I”m in heaven. To take it up a notch I flavoured these salmon burgers with tandoori spices and add a minty yoghurt sauce to the burgers. Yummmmmm.
Winter Salmon Nicoise Salad
You know how I love to call something a recognisable name (Nicoise) but it’s not actually exactly traditional. That’s what’s going on here. I’m not even sorry because this version is delightful.
Salmon and Mushroom Ramen with a Ponzu Broth
This is my kind of winter comfort food. Noodles and broth to slurp with plenty of vegetables and protein. The salmon is gently cooked in a fragrant broth that’s seasoned with ponzu, so many levels of yum.
Salmon, Zucchini and Potato Cakes With Avocado Sauce
This recipe was handed to me by my housemate Bec, she’s a super talented cook (both my housemates are – lucky me!) and once I tried these I knew I had to try and remake them so I could share them with you all. They’re heaven.
Ponzu Salmon and Miso Hummus Bowl
This bowl. This bowl is a dream. The citrusy ponzu salmon goes so well with that miso hummus. yep, I went and put miso and hummus which according to multiple taste testers sounds weird – but tastes amazing. It adds this umami flavour to the hummus that makes it super addictive. Do it.
Easy Smoked Salmon and Poached Egg Pasta
That sort of sounds like breakfast doesn’t it? Well it also hopefully sounds like a whole lot of delicious. This pasta can be ready in 15 minutes, is full of flavour and just ridiculously simple to make. If that sounds like your kind of mid week meal then read on!
Green Quinoa Bowl with Crispy Skinned Salmon and Herbed Yoghurt
This quinoa bowl is so good, I’ve eaten it for breakfast, lunch and dinner – just not in the same day cos that’d probably be a little excessive. The yoghurt sauce with the vegetable studded quinoa, creamy avocado and crispy skinned salmon is such a great combination. The key to this dish is seasoning with lemon, it means you can use less salt and still bring out the flavour of the food.
