Honey baked salmon

Azmina Govindji

You can prepare this dish in the same amount of time as it takes to lay the table — literally five minutes! The salmon is smothered in an aromatic mixture of honey, fresh garlic and ginger, soy sauce, coarse grain mustard, and balsamic vinegar. Serve on a bed of brown rice, with a crisp green salad, and for that really special occasion, partner it up with asparagus tips.

Healthy Hints

Oily fish like salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines and herring are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to help reduce blood stickiness. This in turn could reduce your risk of heart disease, as part of a healthy lifestyle. Choose oily fish once a week.

Cooking Guide

1. Mix together all of the ingredients except the salmon. Marinade the salmon fillets in this mixture and set them aside for half an hour (if you have time).
2. Place the fillets with the marinade on a lightly greased baking tray and cook in an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F) or gas mark 6 for 10–12 minutes until just cooked.
