A lot of people know eating salmon is good for you due to the omega-3 fatty acids. However, people who are not brought up cooking fish sometimes worry about how to cook it. My friend Sereyana posted on my facebook wall recently, that she was searching for an easy and healthy salmon recipe. Off to the kitchen I went. Such a shame! This recipe is so good I had to make it twice as the first time I ate it before I remembered to photograph it.
This recipe relies on simple fresh flavours, so no scrimping and using the ‘masterfoods’.
5 almonds
2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon lemon juice
a pinch coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
200g Salmon steak
1 cup snow peas
1 bag (200g) baby spinach
Preheat an oven to 200ºC
In a pestal and mortar crush the coriander seeds and almonds with the salt. Mix in the sesame seeds and lemon juice and rub the mix on on side of the salmon.
Place on baking paper on a baking tray and cook for 6 minutes. Pre-heat your overhead grill (broiler). Place the salmon under the grill for another 6 minutes.
Meanwhile lightly spray a wok with oil. Saute the snow peas for 2 minutes. Add in the spinach and 2 teapsoons of water and saute until the spinach begins to wilt.
Serve the salmon on the greens.
