Marinated salmon with stir fried cabbage & bacon

Another little beauty that is simple to put together and tastes great. Farmed salmon can be a little bland and this livens it up.

Ingredients for 2:

• 2 good salmon fillets or 4 smaller ones
• 1 tbs soya sauce
• 1 tsp grain mustard
• 1 tbs honey
• 1 orange just the juice and the rind. (fresh orange juice will do if no oranges)
• a thumb of fresh ginger
• cabbage (I prefer green but white will do)
• half a packet of bacon lardons or 2 rashers of bacon.

First of all marinate the salmon. Mix the soya sauce/mustard/honey and the orange together. If you want a looser mixture add a little water. Bathe the salmon with the marinade and if possible leave for a couple of hours in the fridge, all day even better, but you can use straight away. 

Put in an oven 200 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes. Check after 15 if you like your salmon slightly pink.

Make some rice, put 200g in boiling water for 7 minutes. Check the grains are not hard. Drain and put back in the pot, off the heat, with lid on and leave for 10 minutes, perfect rice.

I use about 4 leaves of cabbage, shredded thinly. Fry your bacon in butter/olive oil for a few minutes and then throw in the cabbage. Fry for a few minutes, add a little water, take off heat and leave to steam finish for a few minutes. Taste and season.

A lovely simple dish and very tasty.
