Grilled Teriyaki Salmon with ginger and lemon infused rice

This dish is fast becoming a favourite of mine - after recently reintroducing fish into my diet.
I loved to cook when I lived in Singapore and Hong Kong and a few cooking tips I picked up along the way have stayed with me. Whenever I miss Asia, I try to reinvent the dishes I loved out there.

Marinating the salmon fillets in teriyaki sauce (see Teriyaki Salmon) for approximately 2 hours allows the salmon to absorb the flavours and spices.

First get the rice prepared - cooking fluffy basmati rice is easy - 1 cup rice to 2 cups water and just leave it - as stirring will cause the rice to become starchy and spoiled. For this dish I added the rough off cuts of the ginger stem and the skin of of a lemon. This will infuse into the rice, adding flavour.

When ready, transfer the salmon to a heated grill to sear for 6-8 minutes. Top the salmon with chopped ginger, spring onions and coriander and a squeeze of lemon for a fuller flavour sensation!

Winter weather comforts

Veggie mince chili with brown basmati rice topped with tomatoes, coriander and feta

When it gets cold outside we all wanna be warm on the inside! This is delicious and hits the spot when the winter weather starts to return.

Chili:
Quorn mince meat - a great way to create popular and favourite dishes while being a vegetarian
A tin of red kidney beans
A tin of Heinz tomato soup
Garlic
Onion
Smoked Chipotle
Chilli flakes

In some light oil, fry the garlic and onion, add in the kidney beans and Quorn mince - once the mix is heated through and combined well, season with salt/pepper, Smoked Chiptole and Chilli flakes. Mix in  the Heinz soup slowly (don't add to much as it can get runny) and allow to simmer for 10-15 mins.
Top with chopped plum tomatoes, chopped coriander and crumbled feta. Delicious!

Breakfast of Champions

I have for some time now, been obsessed with perfecting the perfect poached egg. Happy to report - I feel after much practice I have now perfected this skill. Now to get creative...

I like to start my mornings full of protein and two poached eggs topped with plum tomatoes, chopped coriander and crumbled feta will definitely keep you fighting through till lunch.

Enjoy! x

Lentil Salad

Puy Lentil, Tomato, Corn and Coriander Salad, topped with Feta Cheese

I love mixing grains and creating delicious salads for lunch.
This one has a mexican influence to it, mixing toasted Puy lentils with halved plum tomatoes, tinned sweetcorn, fresh coriander, and sprinkled with feta and chilli flakes - mixed together to create a melody of flavours.

So healthy, nutritious - and takes minutes to create!
