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.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets
    2
For the glaze
  • Soy sauce
    2 tbsp
    Soy
  • Runny honey
    1½ tbsp
  • Juice from ½ an orange
  • White wine vinegar
    1 tbsp
  • Garlic clove, peeled
    1
  • Ginger, fresh
    ½ cm slice

Cooking Method

  1. 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.
  2. Line a roasting tin with greaseproof paper and lightly oil. Place the salmon skin-side down and spoon the glaze over.
  3. 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.
  4. Once cooked, use a fish slice to lift the salmon off the skin, leaving it stuck to the paper, and serve.
