Teriyaki Salmon Salad

thumbnail for this post

A super quick tea that I felt was worth a write up. This went from the bag to my face in less than 15 minutes, thanks to microwave rice and fish under the grill.

You will need

For the salmon

  • A salmon fillet per person
  • A teaspoon of honey
  • A teaspoon of sesame oil
  • A couple of cloves of garlic minced
  • A tablespoon of soy

For the salad

  • A pack of microwave rice
  • A handful of tomatoes, fine diced
  • A few inches of cucumber finely diced
  • A pepper finely diced
  • A bag of mixed leaves, chopped a little
  • The seeds from half a pomegranate
  • A teaspoon of honey
  • 2 teaspoons of soy
  • 2 teaspoons of a sharp vinegar (I used rice vinegar)

Do

  • Mix up the salmon marinade and stick the salmon in it
  • Pop the rice on to microwave. When it’s done, pop it on the plates, you want it cool, not red hot. Don’t reheat rice, that way lies food poisoning.
  • Pop the grill on high to heat
  • Pop the salmon under the grill, skin side down, without the marinade
  • Whilst the salmon cooks, chop all the veg
  • Whisk up the salad dressing and mix with the salad
  • Turn the the salmon over, pile some of the marinade and it’s garlicky bits on the top, and cook until the skin is crisp
  • Serve by piling it all on top of rice

Result

Delicious, salty, garlicky, super colourful, super quick.
