I love salmon for an un complicated dinner that somehow always feel special and it makes an easy dinner for one. I find baking salmon too rich for me so I suggest grilling it instead which gets rid of some of the oil and the caramelisation is gorgeous.

Serves one

150g salmon fillet, skin on

a splash of soy sauce

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

½ tsp brown sugar

vegetable suggestions: leafy greens, grated carrot, pickles

½–1 cup cooked brown rice

toasted sesame seeds

lemon wedge to serve 

Preheat the grill of an oven to high.

Place the salmon fillet on a foil-lined tray. Mix soy, ginger and sugar together and brush over the salmon. Grill until browned but still moist and tender. Remove skin and grill this to crispy. 

Arrange the salmon, vegetables and rice in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle over sesame seeds and squeeze over lemon juice and serve with crisped skin.
