Salmon, Avocado & Rocket Salad with a Wasabi Dressing

July 07

Some of the most vibrant food to prepare can be the simplest and my highly impressive summer salad of salmon sashimi, creamy avocado, rocket, coriander and toasted sesame seeds is a perfect example. The whole salad is brought together with a pale green dressing humming with heat from wasabi paste, a Japanese staple ingredient made from Japanese horseradish, often used as a garnish served with sushi.  It makes for an incredibly light and bright salad and makes an ideal treat if you’re dining solo as it is simple to prepare.

Blackened Salmon With Green Goddess Avocado Salad

June 07

Salmon is like the godfather of fish. Its big meaty fillets can stand up to just about any flavour you throw at it. Its oily flesh can withstand the heat of chilli and spice and, like most fish, it is incredibly healthy. The blackening method of this recipe creates a wonderful deep and smoky crust on the top of the fillets and, when combined with a cooling creamy avocado salad, it really is a delicious little dinner.

Creamy Salmon Tagliatelle with Garden Peas and Sundried Tomatoes

June 02

This is a great meal to throw together in just minutes and it’s really filling. You can pick up sun-blushed tomatoes in the supermarket. They are a much brighter colour than sun-dried tomatoes and a little less intense in flavour. Alternatively roast some halved cherry tomatoes with a little olive oil with sea salt and black pepper at about 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6, for about 40 minutes.
