At Anna’s Kitchen Table

I’m sure it can’t just be my family now can it, that doesn’t get enough oily fish into it’s weekly diet?
I love salmon, but one of my daughter’s wants it ‘pimped’ up before she’ll eat it.
This Bill Granger recipe is great. It’s sweet, savoury and delicious.

It’s moreish.

Can salmon be moreish? I think so.

And it’s great for a quick mid-week meal, when there’s not much time. That’s something I’m increasingly finding now that I’m working more hours. (One of the perks of being self-employed, if there’s no staff…..)

Bill Granger’s Caramel Salmon


Serves 4. A tad optimistic I feel.

1 tbsp. veg. oil
800g skin-on salmon, cut into cubes
1 red onion, sliced (I used white onion as that’s all I had at home)
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
115g brown sugar
3 tbsp fish sauce (I used mirin here as we don’t like fish sauce!)
1 tbsp. lime juice.

1. Fry the cubes of salmon in the oil quickly, until golden brown. Remove from pan.

2. Fry the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, then add the sugar, fish sauce (if using) and soy.

3. Return salmon to the pan and cook for a further minute or until the sauce is thick and syrupy. add lime juice.

4. Serve with steamed rice and lime wedges.
