An Easy Salmon Recipe That Kids Will Eat

I say asian style baked salmon, because although it tastes delicious and has asian influence, I can not by any means claim it to be traditional recipe.

I like this recipe because: Well quite simply I like it because I like salmon. I also like it because my kids will eat it (for some reason I haven't managed to get them to eat plain salmon yet, a work in progress). I also like it because it is really simple. The other week, I banged it in the oven on a timer, went to a playdate with the kids in the afternoon and came home to perfectly cooked salmon... brilliant.

Its' probably a bit high in salt and sugar, but for me the benefits of my kids eating and enjoying omega 3 rich salmon out weigh these negatives.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets (as many as needed to feed your family)

For each salmon fillet

• 1 teaspoon mustard (dijon or wholegrain)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon liquid honey (or creamed honey warmed)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon shau xing wine

Method

1. Remove pin bones from the salmon (this is the most time consuming part)
2. Place salmon in a baking/roasting dish
3. Spread the fillet with mustard
4. Combine oyster sauce and honey and pour over salmon
5. Add the soy sauce and wine to the baking dish, around the salmon rather than poured over. (The wine can definitely be omitted if desired)
6. Bake in a 150 degree celsius oven for 30 mins
7. Turn up heat to 200 degrees for up to 5 mins, Just long enough for the sauce to become thick and delicious.
8. Serve

Serving suggestions

• With rice or noodles and vegetables
• As a filling in rice paper rolls with carrot and cucumber batons , bean sprouts, lettuce etc
• As a filling for sushi
