As promised I am writing my 2nd blog of the day. However after deciding what to make for the starter circumstances changed and I was told to fend for myself on the condition I only used food in the fridge, rather then opting for the easy way out and heading straight for the freezer.
After looking at a nearly empty fridge for about 10mins I made one of my healthy favourites:
Cajun Salmon Caesar Salad (without anchovies because there weren't any in the fridge...!)
Caesar Sauce
Double Cream
Pinch of salt
a squirt of lemon juice
half a teaspoon of parmesan cheese
some crack pepper
2 teaspoon cottage cheese (this is my own personal twist, some people don't like this!)
This is a simple way to whip up a quick Caesar sauce:
Whip the Cream, salt and lemon juice together. One the mixture thickens a little mix in the rest of the ingredients.
Job Done!
The Rest of the Dish
Pre-oven to 200C, take a Salmon Fillet and dust with Cajun seasoning and place in pre-heated oven for 15-20mins (depending on size). Whilst the Salmon is in the oven make your salad...
I used half a baby gem lettuce, peppers, cucumber and baby tomatoes. With the baby gem Lettuce I tossed in a drip of Farrington's "Blackberry and Vinegar Dressing". I was introduced to this dressing by my sister sometime ago but haven't been able to buy it as it was only sold local to her. However much to my delight, last week my local Waitrose started selling it along side there other new British produce. Yet another success story for real British cottage industry food mixing it with the big boys!
Anyway back to the dish in question... make salad on a baby gem base and add sauce. Sit down and enjoy!
I'll blog again very soon - promise.
