{Recipe} Simple Salmon meal







Hi there and welcome! I am still basking in my own joy because I have finally gone back to cooking!no more take aways. I just love how I can come up with different recipes, even better the web is full of them. I must confess I am yet to fully follow a recipe to the T, all of them so far I have made major alterations but that's ok that's called cooking (ha self praise). Now let me share with you my quick and easy salmon meal I had the last night.

Ingredients
Salmon fillets
Spring onions, chopped finely
Chilli, chopped finely
Lime juice (zest too if prefer) 1 tablespoon 
Butter
Cooking oil 1 tablespoon 

Method
Heat the cooking oil and fry the salmon for 5 minutes or till crisp and make sure you start with the skin part. 
Once cooked or crisp, turn on to the sides and cook for 2 minutes each side. 

... Put aside once done...

Melt a knob of butter in the pan, once done fry the spring onions, chilli plus lime zest (if included) for 3 minutes then add the lime juice. 

Pour the sauce you just made onto the salmon and serve with either a salad or rice. I chose rice cause I needed a full and filling meal. 

This is a light meal which can be eaten at anytime, it is easy to prepare and delicious. What do you think? Do you like salmon? If so how do you like yours cooked?

  6. I actually have never liked Salmon which is unfortunate because it seems to be like the healthiest food out there!! Your recipe looks tasty though, maybe I need to suck it up and try to find a way to enjoy Salmon!

  7. Looks delish! I don't really love salmon - it's tasty but I'm always so put off by the ridiculous amount of bones you have to take out of it as you eat it. Ruins the whole experience.

    1. Ugh! That's so avoidable and hopefully you don't have that experience in restaurants. It's a sign of a lazy cook/chef.

    2. I agree with Amby its sign of laziness in the kitchen if the chef serves salmon with bones in it. This one I bought from sainsburys has no bone what so ever x

  11. We make salmon at least once a week. Either raw as sashimi, or pan fried and then served over rice or udon noodles. My hubby also makes it with parchment paper in the oven, which has a steamed effect - delicious. We make extra pieces and then eat it cold with potatoes or salad - we eat a LOT of salmon!
