A delicious salmon recipe that will be on the table in thirty minutes.
Serves 4
- 4 × 200 g salmon fillets
- 1 clove garlic, finely sliced
- 1 × 2 cm piece fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 1 stalk lemongrass, white part only, finely sliced
- 4 kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
- 4 slices lime
- ¹⁄₃ cup roughly chopped coriander (cilantro)
- 1 large red chilli, finely sliced
- lime wedges
Method
Place a bamboo steamer in a large frying pan or wok, then pour a little water into the pan. (The water level should not reach the middle of the steamer.) Bring the water to a boil.
Meanwhile, place fish on a small plate that fits into the steamer (you may need to cook the fish in 2 batches, depending on the size of the steamer). In a small bowl, mix garlic, ginger, lemongrass, lime leaves, fish sauce, sesame oil and half the spring onion. Spoon the mixture over the fish, then lay the lime slices on top. Carefully transfer the plate with the fish to the steamer and steam, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer fish to serving plates and spoon over cooking juices. Garnish with coriander, chilli, lime wedges and the remaining spring onion, and serve with steamed mixed vegetables.
A tagine is the name for a Moroccan stew and the conical-shaped terracotta dish it is traditionally cooked in. Don’t worry if you don’t have a tagine – the recipe works just as well in a heavy-based saucepan.
The summery flavours of the rice filling also work well with red capsicums; just replace the tomato flesh with chopped olives.
Growing up in Germany, Verena remembers two camps when it came to potato salad: camp mayo and camp oil/broth.
One of my guilty go-to takeaways, perfect with a homemade flatbread and a yogurt dip. It’s so moreish and a lot cheaper than ordering in.
What better way to welcome the weekend than with the smell and sound of frying herb-loaded ijeh?
‘Fish doesn’t have to be boring—my mother taught me that. Samkeh harra translates to “spicy fish,” though it’s more about a gentle kick than true heat. It’s a perfect balance of creamy, nutty tahini and the crunch of golden, roasted nuts. Oh, I do love nuts! I usually overload my plate so you almost can’t see the fish anymore, but that’s me. The nuts bring a deep, toasty richness that elevates the dish into something truly irresistible.’
These festive pavlovas are dipped in white chocolate and topped with toasted hazelnuts, cream and berry sauce to make an impressive dessert.
Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.
I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
Not quite a red curry, not quite a satay, this dish is the best of both worlds, inspired by Thai flavours and it is divine. It’s a throw-and-go recipe and I know we all love those at BOL. Perfect served with creamy coconut rice, some sliced red chilli and flatbreads.
Camellia Punjabi's recipe for the classic North Indian dish of stir-fried peppers with paneer is flavoured with a medley of spices and aromatics and makes for a brilliant vegetarian dish.
‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
