Pan-fried salmon with chilli garlic prawns

Seafood is my joy and this dish always put a smile on my dial. It takes about 10-15 mins to make so there's no excuse in terms of having no time to cook.



Ingredients: 

1 x salmon fillet
50g shelled king prawns
4 x cloves of crushed garlic
1 Tsp chilli flakes
1 Tsp Himalayan sea salt
1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp rice bran oil

Directions:
  1. In a frying pan pour in 1 Tbsp rice bran oil
  2. Season the skin of the salmon with 1/2 a tsp of salt
  3. Place salmon skin-side down in a sizzling pan
  4. Cook for 2-3 mins on this side until the skin is nice and crispy
  5. Turn the salmon and cook for a further 2 mins, then take out of the pan and set it aside somewhere warm
  6. Add 1 Tbsp rice bran oil to frying pan and add in crushed garlic and the prawns
  7. After 2 mins add the chilli flakes and cook for a further 3 mins
  8. Turn off the heat and squeeze lemon juice into the pan
  9. Immediately place prawns on top of salmon
  10. Serve with green salad or broccoli cooked with oyster sauce

Quote of the week

This is my first post in what I am hoping is an ongoing blog about my food journey. I try to eat a diet of low to no sugar and I have replaced all my carbs with only oat bran, millet and buckwheat. I created this quote as a reminder to myself and others that the only way to change your life is to get up and do it. No-one else is going to do it for you. Recipes are coming soon but in the meantime enjoy the beautiful view from my office and my mantra for life.
