Tonight we had some lovely salmon fillet for dinner. I decided to serve it with some rice and greens. However, to make it that little more special I decided to try something my father taught me. I cooked the rice using an Oolong tea bag to give it a nice subtle flavour. Its a great idea!
The salmon is really easy to do, here goes (please note: sometimes I don't measure things and tend to go with what looks right):
1. I chopped up some pistachios and crushed them up with some dried dill
2. I then grated some lemon and lime rind to add to the mix before sprinkling in over the salmon fillets.
3. I put the fillets in a preheated oven of 190 degrees for 7 mins.
4. Whilst the salmon was cooking I cooked a mix of green vegies (brocollini. broccoli and peas).
5. I then drained the rice, took the salmon out of the oven and allowed it to rest for 5 mins before serving.
This was a very simple dish! Again you could try chopping up a variety of different nuts and herbs with any of your fish just to make it a little more interesting.Just for fun I decided to serve the rice up in some cute silicone poached egg containers to keep with the green theme.Enjoy !
Em, love this recipe :) We are totally deprived of good and affordable seafood here... But I'm gonna try this for the next time we manage to find good salmon!

Yes it was very yummy! Is it seafood in general that is expensive or just salmon? You could try and find cheaper type of fish to try it with?
DeleteJust fresh seafood in general because we live in a landlocked country :(
