Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 salmon fillets, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 small bunch kale, shredded
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 2.5cm piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 tbsp tamari
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method


  • To make the marinade, whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Heat 1½ tsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium– high heat. Add the salmon chunks and brown on all sides for 2–3 mins.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the marinade, reserving a small amount to dress the salad. Simmer for a further 3–4 mins or until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Using the same pan, cook the red cabbage and kale in 1 tsp olive oil, then set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, kale and cabbage. Add the basil then pour a little bit of the reserved marinade over. Toss well.
  • Divide the rice mixture into 2 serving bowls. Top with carrot, salmon and a drizzle of the remaining marinade. Enjoy while warm!
