Ginger, Chili & Garlic Salmon

A delicious meal I like to cook, is Ginger, Chili & Garlic Salmon. Salmon is an excellent source of Omega-3, an essential fatty acids our bodies need as they have anti-clotting, anti-inflammatory and immune stimulating functions. Salmon is one of the more expensive fish types; but it is worth spending the extra pennies. 1-2 serves a week is sufficient and also easy on the wallet - coming to approximately $6 for 1 steak; depending on where you buy it from. So anyways, I whipped up this little salmon concoction last night with my housemates whilst we belting out some music - cooking and listening to music...*BLISS*.

Anyways here is what I came up with, so easy and nutritious.


Ingredients

• 1 salmon steak
• 1 red chili
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon of chopped ginger
• 1/2 lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Side Salad

• 1/4 cup Rocket leaves, rinsed
• 1 Carrot grated
• 1/4 Red Onion chopped finely
• 1/2 Cucumber chopped into strips
• 1/2 cup Sweet Potato - boiled
• 1/4 cup Red Lentils - boiled
• 1/4 cup tinned Chickpeas & Kidney beans
• 1/2 Red Capsicum chopped into fine strips

Method
Pre-heat oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Place salmon steak in some aluminum foil - top with chopped chili, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce & ground pepper. Place salmon into oven and cook for 10-15 minutes.
For the side salad combine all the ingredients listed in a large bowl.
For serving - place the salad on the bed of the plate & top it with the salmon. All the juices & olive oil will flow through the salad as a natural dressing.

Delisss!!! Enjoy!
