Salmon is one of my favourite healthy mid week meals when I'm in a hurry, grilled with a little lemon, salt and pepper and served with salad or vegetables.
Last week Chris & I visited a new cafe close to work called Bitton. After perusing the menu and chatting to the owner (who ordered for us!!!)we walked out happy & laden with lots of goodies. A selection of Bitton sauces, jams and oils (Moroccan Spice Paste to name one) to sample. We felt lighter (literally) with a new found spring in our step and a smile on our face. Perhaps it was the convival European dining experience we experienced...
Mid week I put a little recipe testing into practise ...
Moroccan Salmon w Salad & Lime Yogurt
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2 people
Ingredients:
1 -2 pieces of salmon fillet
2 Tablespoons Moroccan Spice Paste (I used Bitton)
1-2 teaspoons olive oil
1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 avocado, peeled, chopped
5 mushrooms, chopped
1/2 bunch coriander, washed, roughly chopped
1/4 cup Greek yoghurt
juice of 1 lime
extra coriander to serve
salt and pepper to taste
The Fun
Coat Salmon with Moroccan Spice Paste & set aside.
Pre-heat Square Griddle Pan over a medium heat for a few minutes.
Sprinkle Salmon with a little oil and place skin side down onto Square Griddle Pan.
Cook for 5 minutes each side or until cooked to your preferred rareness...
Add salad ingredients to a medium bowl and toss to combine.
In a small bowl combine yoghurt with half the lime juice.
Place salad onto serving plates and top with cooked salmon.
Place salad onto serving plates and top with cooked salmon.
Drizzle with extra lime juice, dollop of yoghurt and sprinkling of coriander.
Minis Tips
Replace Salmon with king green prawns, chicken thigh fillets or lamb fillets.
