We all know how important oily fish is in our diet. It is an excellent source of vitamin D, which has being cited as an essential vitamin in the fight against COVID.
I rub the salmon with turmeric as it is suggested by experts that the reaction of the turmeric with the skin of the salmon heightens its anti cancer properties.



Lime Baked Salmon on a Bed of Asian Noodles.
Serves 2.



Ingredients:

2 darnes of fresh salmon.
2 teaspoon turmeric.
Juice of 1 lime.
1/2 bag of egg noodles.
1 chopped scallion.
1 carrot, peeled & cut into thin strips.
2 leaves of cabbage, rolled up & finely sliced.
If you want to up the vegetable content you can add strips of peppers, sliced mushrooms, baby corn.
2 cloves of garlic, chopped.
Thumb piece of ginger, peeled & chopped.
2 teaspoons of nigella seeds, gives a lovely texture contrast, can be omitted if you do not have them at hand.
3 teaspoon sesame oil.
2 tablespoons soy.
1 tablespoon honey.
1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce.
A good bunch of chopped coriander.


Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 190. Pop the salmon on a baking sheet, massage the turmeric & lime juice into them & sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil & bake for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile put noodles in a bowl, pour over boiling water and set aside for 10 minutes.
  3. Prepare all your vegetables, nigella seeds,garlic & ginger.
  4. Line up the condiments beside the cooker.
  5. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or pan. Don’t let it get too hot & toss in all the vegetables, garlic, nigella seeds, ginger & garlic. Give everything a good stir & cook out for 5 minutes, you want the vegetables to still be crunchy.
  6. Add in the condiments & let it bubble.
  7. Drain & rinse the noodles & pop into the wok. Give everything a good mix. I find kitchen tongs best for this. Finish with a good handful of chopped coriander.
  8. Remove salmon from the oven,  carefully peel away the skin.
  9. Pile the warm noodles into the centre of the plate, top with salmon & I finished with a little bit of rocket.​



These noodles are so versatile, can be served cold as a salad, packed into wraps & toasted for lunch, topped with Cajun chicken strips or served simply warm in a big bowl.
