Salmon With Ginger, Garlic, Basil Sauce.

 

Salmon

Fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids that protect your heart by reducing both inflammation and the risk of blood clots. These fats also work to keep your cholesterol levels healthy. Eat salmon or other oily ocean fish like tuna, sardines or herring at least two times per week. For a heart-healthy meal, try grilled salmon steaks with a green vegetable and a side salad with a sprinkling of lemon juice instead of high-calorie salad dressing

• pour all marinade mixture(the herbs, soya sauce, rice vinegar etc over it)
• turn the salmon pieces over and leave in fridge over night or do it before you go to work or at least 30 minutes before you are ready to grill or fry on griddle pan.
• any leftover sauce in the box can be heated in a small pan , keep stirring till it thicken like runny honey and serve with meal,
• when you are ready to cook, heat the griddle after brushing it with sunflower oil ,
•  when the oil starts smoking turn the griddle down and place the fish on it and leave on a low heat for about 10 minutes. Do not turn before hand or it will stick,
•  turn over and repeat, if you ahad thick filets you may need 5 minutes on each side with skin.
