CRISPY ASIAN SALMON WITH STIR-FRIED NOODLES, PAK CHOI & SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Make the marinade by mixing together all the ingredients. Place the salmon fillets in a small bowl and spoon over the marinade, turning the fish so that it's nicely coated. Cover with cling film and leave to sit for 10 mins (or longer if you have time).
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and sit them in a bowl of cold water.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and leave for 3 mins. When the fish is slightly crispy, flip over and cook for a further 3 mins on the other side. Just before you remove the fish from the pan, add any remaining marinade and let it sizzle for 10 secs. Place 2 of the fillets, skin-side up, with their juices on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Put the other 2 fillets on another plate if using for Flaked salmon salad (see 'goes well with'), cover with foil, leave to cool, then chill.
• In a frying pan or wok, heat the rapeseed and sesame oils over a high heat. Add the spring onion, garlic, chilli and ginger, and stir constantly for about 1 min. Add the sugar snap peas, pak choi and pepper, and stir for another 1-2 mins, then add the cooked noodles. Toss well, then add the soy sauce, fish sauce and lime juice, and mix until well combined and the pan is sizzling.
• Remove from the heat and divide between 2 bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet and drizzle over any juices. Sprinkle with coriander and serve.

EASY PAD THAI

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the chicken stock, rice vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and cayenne pepper in a cup or small bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
• Place the chopped chicken in a bowl and toss with the 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rice noodles and cook approximately 6 minutes, or until soft enough to bend easily but still firm and a little crunchy when you try to eat it (undercooked by regular standards). Drain and rinse noodles briefly with cold water to keep them from sticking. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil and swirl around. Add the garlic, chili, and galangal or ginger. Stir-fry 1 minute.
• Add the chicken and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, continuing to stir-fry until they turn pink and chicken is opaque-about 2 to 3 minutes.
• When pan becomes dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pad thai sauce-just enough to keep ingredients frying nicely.
• Push the ingredients to the side of the pan (if the pan is dry, drizzle in a little oil). Crack the egg into the empty space and stir-fry quickly to scramble.
• Add the drained noodles plus 3 to 4 tablespoons of the pad thai sauce. Using two utensils, lift and turn the noodles with the other ingredients. Continue in this way, adding more sauce every minute or two, until all the sauce has been added and noodles are chewy and a little bit sticky, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Fold in the bean sprouts and green onion. Remove from heat and taste-test, adding more fish sauce or lime until the desired taste is achieved.
• Portion out onto individual plates and add a lime wedge on the side. Top with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.

FRESH SALMON WITH THAI NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Put a pan of water on to boil. Line a steamer with baking parchment, add the salmon fillets and scatter with a little of the orange zest. When the water is boiling, add the beans to the pan, put the salmon in the steamer on top and cook for 5 mins. Take the salmon off, and if it is cooked, set aside but add the peas and mange tout to the pan and cook for 1 min more, or if not quite cooked leave on top for the extra min. Drain the veg, but return the boiling water to the pan, add the noodles and leave to soak for 5 mins.
• Put the curry paste and fish sauce in a salad bowl with the orange juice and a little of the remaining zest and the spring onions. Drain the noodles when they are ready and add to the salad bowl, toss well, then add the chopped orange with the basil or coriander and the cooked vegetables. Tip in the juice from the fish, then toss well and serve in bowls with the salmon on top.

THAI SALMON NOODLES

Steps:

• Blanch the cut vegetables. Remove and keep warm.
• Make the sauce: combine the peanut butter, the reserved brine, and the 8 ingredients that follow, in a small pan over medium heat (enough heat to melt the peanut butter and creamed coconut). Reduce heat to lowest setting.
• Prepare the dried egg noodles according to the instructions on the packet. (I use the leftover vegetable water to cook the egg noodles -- its already hot, and full of vitamins!).
• Drain the noodles. Stir in the sauce and the basil or cilantro (aka coriander) (optional). Flake the salmon and fold it into the noodles.
• Fold in the vegetables or serve them on the side. Ensure that the meal is warm throughout, and ENJOY!

BROILED THAI SWEET CHILI SALMON

Steps:

• Make Thai sweet chili sauce or use store-bought (I like Thai Kitchen brand).
• In a large baking dish, add salmon in a single layer. Each fillet: sprinkle with a pinch of salt and top with 1 tbsp of Thai sweet chili sauce. Brush or rub with your fingers to coat fish with sauce evenly on top, bottom and sides. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight is the best (up to 24 hours).
• Turn on oven's broiler on High and position top oven rack 5" - 6" below the heat source. Line large baking sheet with foil or silicone mat, spray with cooking spray and place salmon fillets skin side down (if any). Coat with remaining marinade from the dish (if any).
• Broil for 8 minutes, rotating baking sheet once. Remove from the oven and brush top of each fillet with 2 tsp of Thai sweet chili sauce. Return to the oven and broil for another 5 minutes or until salmon has caramelized.
