This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! After sharing Greek Moussaka with you on Monday which requires no less than FIVE pots, pans and trays to make (worth the effort, but not an everyday meal!), I thought I’d better to a 180º and share a much faster recipe today. 😉 My friend John from He Needs Food, a stunning Sydney food and travel blog, shared a homemade Sweet Chili Sauce the other day and it prompted me to make some. Then I contemplated what to use it for that I could share with you, and this salmon popped into my mind. (Psst Don’t worry, this recipe is made with store bought sweet chili sauce, or even honey + sriracha. I realise not everyone has the time, energy or interest to make homemade sweet chili sauce!) This is one of those recipes where I typically “eyeball it”, meaning I plonk in a dash of this and dash of that, and it always works out. With the marinade ingredients in this recipe, it’s really quite hard to go wrong. Unless you accidentally pour in half a bottle of soy sauce (!!), it’s pretty much guaranteed to taste lovely. But today I measured everything out properly so I could write the recipe out for you. 😉 Here it is, straight out from under the grill/broiler. Doesn’t the glaze look lovely? I only have a handful of recipes with so few ingredients in them. It’s not that I share complicated recipes, I definitely do not! I just won’t share 5 ingredient recipes for the sake of being able to say that it’s a 5 ingredient recipe. It has to taste great. That’s the rule for everything I share. Whether there is 5 or 15 ingredients! And I have a real hang up about “flat” tasting food, meaning it is one dimensional and lacking depth. If this marinade did not have oyster sauce in it, you would taste it and just know that something was missing. To me, that is “flat” tasting food. 😉 I literally just had this for lunch today. It was a bit of an indulgent lunch, given that most people would settle for a sandwich. I should be banking Calorie Credits given that I’m leaving for Mexico this weekend, because we all know I’m going to be eating my way across the country! I’ll just have air for dinner. 😉 – Nagi x PS Please do not overcook the salmon, I’ll be very sad! That’s why I cook it under the grill/broiler instead of baking it. Cooks faster and you get the caramelisation. Win win!
