the rain did poureth

I woke up feeling fed up, groggy and tired. Summer (for now) appears to be over. The rain was pelting it down all morning. I walked inappropriately dressed in the rain to my car. I got soaked. I stood outside in the rain the day before. I got soaked. The heel of my shoe is a muddy brown. I've been drinking too many glasses of bubbly and I've had too many slices of pizza. 

I need to feel summer again...

I want to feel fresh, clean and pure...

I want something to tickle my tastebuds...

...I don't want too much hassle

There is someone who wraps all these qualities into a colourful box of sunshine, tied up in ribbon....BILL GRANGER, albeit with a few too many of the same ingredients. However, he does it so so well!

Caramel Salmon (serves 4)

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (sesame oil)
• 800 g salmon, with skin, cut into large cubes
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, sliced
• 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 115 g brown sugar (few teaspoons of honey)
• 3 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp lime juice
   

First sear the skin side of the salmon on a very high heat. Just do a few at a time.

Then flip over and cook for just a minute and remove from the pan...

After you have put the salmon aside, turn the heat down to medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 3 minutes, then add the soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar (or honey).

Add the salmon back into the pan and stir/heat until it has that sticky, toffee like consistency. This gives it a naughty treat like feel to it. Add lime juice and cracked black pepper and serve with steamed rice and lime wedges.

Hungry?
