Roast Salmon with Bacon, Potatoes, Peas & Mint


Wow is all i can say for this super tasty and healthy recipe! I literally just had it for tea and it was scrummy! The mint mixes so well with the peas and adds a bit of extra flavour to the kale and the salmon. The original recipe i had for this had spring onions but i used kale, 1) because i didn't have any spring onions left , 2) because it helped bulk the meal up with more delicious greens. You can use or add any extra greens to this recipe. This recipe serves 2 people. And is surprisingly simple and quick to make.

Ingredients

Coconut oil or olive oil spray
2 large potatoes (or sweet potatoes, cut into quarters)
3 bacon slices (cut into strips)
2 small salmon fillets
100g of frozen green peas
A small bowl of kale
1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of mint (roughly chopped)
Salt and pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180℃. Put the potatoes in a large roasting tin, spray with cooking spray/or add coconut oil and season with salt and pepper. Put into the oven and roast for 30 minutes.

2. Bring the tin with the potatoes out of the oven and scatter the bacon over the potatoes and spray with more cooking spray, cook for a further 10 minutes.

3. Take the tin out of the oven, push the potatoes and bacon to the sides and spray the middle with cooking spray. Lay salmon in the middle and season with salt and pepper. Put the roasting tin back into the oven and cook for a further 10-15 minutes, until salmon is just cooked through.

4. Meanwhile, put the peas and kale into a microwave safe bowl and cover with glad wrap. Poke small holes in the top of the glad wrap and put in the microwave for 4 minutes. Drain well once cooked.

5. Once salmon and potatoes are cooked take the dish out of the oven, add the peas and kale along with a splash of vinegar to the pan. Sprinkle with the chopped mint and serve immediately while still hot.

Massaman Fish Curry

I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
