Salmon and broccoli with ginger and carrot rice

A quick and healthy midweek meal for all the family

A quick and healthy midweek meal for all the family

Since I started my subscription for a fortnightly fish box delivery from Inverness company, Coast and Glen, I’ve been trying to be a bit more creative with the fish dishes I cook. Complicated cheffy cooking is not really my thing, but I still like to cook healthy food that everyone will eat and importantly, is on the table quickly.

A regular feature in my fishbox is Scottish Salmon fillets from Wester Ross Fisheries, and with salmon being a great versatile fish, I like to cook it with a variety of  flavours and cuisines.

Salmon works so well with spices and this dish is the perfect example of a quick and easy, healthy dish that all the family will enjoy. I’ve used broccoli with the salmon but you can ring the changes with other seasonal vegetables.

The chilli jam used in the recipe is from Galloway Chillies, an artisan company who produce an outsanding range of chilli products
