Salmon with Black Pepper and Ginger
 |
| Ingredients for the sauce, sugar, garlic, lemon, ginger, pepper corns, sesame oil, fish and soy sauce. |
Fish is a meat that we often feel should by handled with care and should be accompanied with delicate herbs and sauces, but salmon is one of the exceptions. This recipe is bold and delivers a punch from the combination of fiery pepper corns and the zing of ginger.
This is a very quick and easy super recipe with the salmon only needing about 20 minutes marinading time with a further 15 minutes of cooking time.
Ingredients Serves 4
4 pieces of salmon fillets about 100 to 150g each
Sauce
1tsp brown sugar
5 cloves of garlic
juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 tbs Soy sauce
1/2 tbs fish sauce
1 1/2 tbs grated fresh ginger
1 tsp black pepper corns
200ml water
Place all the ingredients for the sauce in a food processor and blitz until you have a sauce mixture. Pour the sauce over the salmon and allow to marinade for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes take a heavy based pan and place on a medium heat. Place the salmon and sauce in the pan and once the sauce is bubbling gently, cover and turn the heat down slightly. Cook until the salmon starts to flake (10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the fillets, add a bit of water if sauce dries up to much). Once the salmon is ready place on a bed of rice and pour over any sauce. Or for a special dish add some cumin, coriander, peas and sweetcorn to the rice. (see ingredients below)
