Steamed Salmon with Dill & Honey
Serves: 2 people
Takes: 15 mins - 30 mins
This recipe has been one of my go-to’s for quite some time. It takes almost no time at all to prep and the oven does all the work.
Serve with a speedy Mustard Carrot Slaw and some crushed potatoes for a brilliant mid week meal.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh dill leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon root ginger, grated
2 teaspoons clear honey
salt, to taste
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 spring onions, roughly chopped
2 salmon fillets, pin boned, skin removed if you wish or scales removed
For the Mustard Carrot Slaw:
2 teaspoons veggie oil, I like rapeseed oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
good twist of fresh black pepper
1 large carrot, julienned
25g white cabbage, julienned
salt, to taste
good squeeze of lemon juice
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
Mix the yogurt, dill, turmeric, ginger and honey together. Add a good pinch of salt and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to.
Lay out 2 pieces of foil. Divide the spring onions amongst them placing them in the centre of each piece.
Rub the marinade over the salmon and lay skin side down on top of the spring onions.
Close up the parcel and bake in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes.
In the meantime make the Mustard Carrot Slaw. Gently heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the mustard seeds and black pepper.
Remove from the heat as soon as the mustard starts popping. Pour straight over the carrot and cabbage.
Sprinkle over some salt and squeeze over some lemon juice.
Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve the Steamed Salmon with some slaw and crushed potatoes.
