Oven Baked Garlic and Lemon Salmon



Whether you’re looking for a light and quick dinner or something to serve up for a party, this oven baked salmon works perfectly each time and it’s so quick and easy to make.



Ingredients: 

·     5 pieces of salmon (my salmon was sliced by the fishmonger with the skin on but filleted skinless salmon works perfectly too!) 
·     1 lemon slice
·     Juice of half a lemon
·     2 cloves of garlic chopped finely
·     8 tbsps olive oil
·     1 tbsps dried oregano
·     1 tbsps dried dill
·     1 tsp paprika
·     Salt and pepper to taste

Method: 

1)   In a bowl mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, dill, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper. 


2)   Line a baking tray with a piece of foil and brush a little bit of the olive oil mixture onto the tray
3)   Place your salmon onto the tray placing the lemon slice in between each piece
4)   Generously brush each piece with the olive oil mixture, ensuring that each piece is well coated



5)   Bake for 35 minutes, with an additional 5 minutes under the grill to give it a beautiful colour and its ready to serve. Enjoy! 


Here I’ve served the salmon with the saffron and dill rice and ratatouille. For a lighter meal you can serve it with the ratatouille alone or a salad. Let me know how you serve it in the comments below!

Udon Noodle Soup

As a lover of Japanese food, I am always eager to learn how to prepare traditional recipes at home. What I love about this Udon Noodle Soup is just how adaptable it is. The chicken broth can be replaced with vegetable or beef broth and cod can be replaced with prawns, chicken, meat or tofu! You can also add or replace any of the vegetable components to suit you or whatever is in the fridge.  This recipe, however, is by far my favourite combination. The melt-in-the-mouth cod and rich broth create a warming sensation on your taste buds. Whilst the spinach and broccolini add a welcome freshness to liven up the broth and balance the flavours. It is the perfect meal for any day.  Ingredients (serves 2)  For the broth: ·       1 packet of pre boiled udon noodles ·       400 ml chicken/vegetable broth ·       1 medium onion ·       100g spinach...

Fried Liver Served on a Toasted Baguette

Hello! Liver is an extremely underrated cut of meat, many aren't accustomed to it or haven't even tried it at all. However, liver is such a succulent and time saving and cheap cut of meat that I guarantee tastes fantastic. So as they say- don't knock it 'til you try it!
