Delicious Spoon

This, my darlings, could also be named “omega-3 delicacy à la anti-oxidant vitamined nectar”, but I thought that title could put some of you off…unnecessarily, as you will see.

But first things first, let’s give the credit where it belongs: The Blog Chef. This guy posts some seriously yummy stuff. I’ll be referring to him more than once in this blog, because I loved practically everything I tried from him. I have adapted his recipe while managing to keep it equally delicious, but you can check out his blog if you are interested in the original thing.

And now back to the alternative title I proposed at the beginning of this post: as you know, salmon is extremely rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which in turn have all sorts of health benefits. And the sauce that goes with this contains honey, brown sugar, lemon juice and garlic.

Meaning, that besides being a grandiose recipe, it manages to be healthy! People, seriously, you must give this a try.

So here we go…

Ingredients (serves 2):

- 1 tbsp honey

- 1 tbsp brown sugar

- 1 tbsp distilled vinegar

- 2 tbsp thin soy sauce

- 1/2 tsp paprika

- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, crushed

- 1/2 tsp black pepper, crushed

- 1 garlic clove, finely grated

- 2 salmon fillets

- salt

- vegetable oil

Cooking instructions:

Rub the salmon with a bit of vegetable oil and salt (careful with the salt because the sauce contains soy sauce). Grill on both sides until fully cooked.

Mix all the other ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat. Let simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the salmon, cover with the sauce. Serve.

Really, this is it.

I loved it with potato puree, which mingled smoothly with the gravy (mmmmmmm) and some greens.
