Grilled salmon with citrus glaze served with mashed sweet potato and spring vegetables

A beautiful light meal for spring, this grilled salmon recipe couldn't be easier, and the citrus glaze makes a great sauce for vegetables, white fish or chicken.

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 35 minutes (including the potatoes)

Ingredients

2 medium-sized peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
1 cup milk
water
juice of 1 orange
zest of ½ orange
30 ml soy sauce
10 ml brown sugar
20 g butter
5 ml finely chopped coriander leaves
2 x 100g salmon-trout or salmon fillets
100 g asparagus
2 baby gem squash
salt and pepper

Method

Place the peeled and chopped sweet potatoes in a saucepan with the milk and add enough water to just cover. Simmer until soft. Remove from the heat, strain and return to the pot.

Using a potato masher, mash until smooth, adding more milk if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.

To make the glaze, heat the orange juice, soy sauce and sugar in a saucepan until sticky. Add the orange zest and reduce slightly. Add the butter and whisk until melted.

Season the salmon and heat a non-stick pan. Place the salmon skin-side down over a medium to high heat. After about 2 minutes, turn and cook the other side for a minute or so until cooked through but still moist.

Steam the vegetables and serve immediately with the citrus glaze.
