Recipe: Salmon with citrus and honey

18 June, 2020 by Expat Living 2 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/salmon-recipe-fresh-salmon-fillet-with-citrus-and-honey/

Salmon has many health benefits and is a great addition to your diet. It’s loaded with nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, protein and B vitamins. It’s also flavoursome, widely available, and very easy to cook! This salmon recipe takes the delicious flavours of citrus and honey and pairs them in a dish that will no doubt become a staple in your recipe repertoire.

Salmon recipe

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 portions Akaroa salmon (fresh or thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1½ tablespoons tamari (a variety of soy sauce with little or no wheat; you can use soy as a substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (black and white)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Instructions

1. Combine the lemon juice, tamari and honey, and brush over the salmon; season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan. Lightly toast the sesame seeds until golden, then remove from heat. Return the pan to the heat and cook the salmon skin-side down for three to four minutes, then flip and sear the top and sides until cooked to your liking.

3. Scatter with toasted sesame seeds and microgreens.

4. Serve with rice and veggies, or even pasta salad.

In the mood for a sweet treat? These chewy salted caramel and chocolate cookies are delicious with a cuppa or warmed and crumbled over ice cream.

This recipe makes about 25 cookies.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened (or as an alternative, substitute half of the butter with natural peanut butter)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plain flour
6 tablespoons cocoa or cacao
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt flakes
1 cup chocolate chips
1 Mars Bar, chopped

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla, then beat well.
4. Combine flour, cocoa (or cacao), baking soda and half of the salt; gradually blend into the creamed mixture.  5.Stir in the chocolate chips and Mars Bar pieces.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized amounts of the mixture onto a lined cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Tip: do not over-bake! The cookies should be soft, they’ll puff up while baking and flatten while cooling.
8. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet onto wire rack.
9. Sprinkle with remaining sea salt flakes.
Enjoy!
