Thai Sweet Chilli Salmon with Baked Potato and Salsa - 1 Syn & 1HA per Person

This is a lovely filling dinner that's colourful and easy to make

Ingredients
2 salmon darnes
2 medium potatoes
2 tbsp thai sweet chili sauce
30g cheddar cheese

The salsa
2 tomatoes, finley diced
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 Red chilli
1/4 cucumber, deseeded and finely sliced
Salt & Pepper

Method

1. Heat the oven to 180 degrees. To speed up the baking I always bake my potatoes for 14 mins in the microwave first. Make sure you pierce them before zapping them. When you zap them, wrap them in tinfoil and put on a tray

2. While the potatoes are being microwaved, spoon over 1 tbsp of sweet chili sauce on to each salmon darne and wrap in tinfoil

3. Put the salmon and potatoes into the oven for 20 mins

4. Meanwhile, place the salsa ingredients into a bowl with salt and pepper and put in the fridge until ready to serve

5. Top the potato with grated cheese and the salsa and serve with a side of salad leaves. I have used raw spinach

Chicken Salad - 1 Syn

This is a lovely salad. It's fresh and crunchy and kind of helps take the goo off for a Cesar salad.

Ingredients - Serves 1

Chicken breast, skinless, cooked and diced
1 slice of bacon, fat removed, cooked and diced
1 head of baby gem lettuce, leaves pulled apart and washed
1 scallion, finely chopped
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red pepper, diced
1 tsp of light mayo
1 tbsp of fat free natural yogurt
Salt & Pepper

Method

  1. Add all the chopped ingredients, except the lettuce, to a bowl
  2. Mix the mayo, salt & pepper and yogurt together and toss with the chopped ingredients
  3. Arrange the lettuce leaves on a plate and top with salad mixture
  4. Serve immediately
If I am taking this for my lunch I always keep the lettuce leaves separate until I am ready to eat. It helps avoid the leaves going soggy.
