Griddled salmon with broccoli and shallot stir fry

This griddled salmon with broccoli and shallot stir fry is very tasty and easy to prepare. The sweetness of the shallots works perfectly with the hot and crunchy broccoli. Serve with steamed baby new potatoes and a good squeeze of lemon for an instant supper, or when entertaining if you don’t have a lot of time to prepare.

Ingredients (serves 4)

4 salmon fillets

300g long stemmed broccoli

12 shallots, peeled and quartered

1 large red chilli, finely chopped

50g almonds, toasted

Method

Brush the salmon steaks with a little oil, griddle or pan fry for approximately six minutes each side until cooked through, keep warm.

Steam the broccoli for two minutes, drain well.  Heat the clean griddle pan, toss the shallots in a little oil and cook, turning regularly until softened and beginning to brown at the edges.

Add the chilli to a tablespoon of olive oil and toss into the tenderstem, add to the pan and cook with the shallots until just beginning to show griddle marks, turning at regular intervals.  Sprinkle in the toasted almonds.

Divide the stir fry between four plates and top with a piece of salmon.
