When it comes to cooking meals after having a new baby, flexibility is key. This sticky soy salmon can be either baked or fried, eaten with one hand, and enjoyed either hot or cold - great if you get distracted.

This dish is big on flavours, packed with protein and easy on the tummy. Make a double batch of glaze in advance and keep in a jar in the fridge for few days; it's just as good with chicken or can be used as a stir-fry sauce.

Serve with rice, cooked according to packet instructions, or a fresh salad.

Place all the ingredients for the glaze into a small pan and gently simmer until reduced by a third and having the consistency of runny honey. Discard the garlic and ginger slice.
Line a roasting tin with greaseproof paper and lightly oil. Place the salmon skin-side down and spoon the glaze over.
Roast at 200°C fan/gas mark 6 for 12-15 minutes. Alternatively fry in a little oil over a medium heat for two to three minutes each side. Pour the glaze over halfway through cooking the second side.
Once cooked, use a fish slice to lift the salmon off the skin, leaving it stuck to the paper, and serve.
