We visited this quaint little restaurant for my sister’s birthday lunch recently and my hubby ordered this absolutely delicious Asian fish and Calamari. It had such an amazing flavour with a hint of chilli, it was mouth-watering. This is where I got my inspiration for this Asian Salmon and Coleslaw dish. For the Salmon I used a recipe from Recipe Tin Eats. I only changed 3 little things in the recipe. I added 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce, 1 chilli and a little extra garlic, it was super yum! I also did not cook the Salmon on a braai or barbecue. I grilled it in the oven but it worked just as well. For my Coleslaw I adapted the recipe from Feasting at Home. My hubby who usually loves this kind of food didn’t seem happy when I told him what I was about to cook for dinner. I think he expected some comfort food, especially since it’s still Winter. I wasn’t about to make him something else so he really had no choice but to eat it. And I think he was glad he did because he said it was absolutely amazing. It was a lovely light, healthy meal. Exactly what we all needed after all the holiday eating. I nearly didn’t post this recipe, I made a similar dish once before but it was a struggle to get my photos right. Damn, food photography. Today was also a struggle but I managed to get a couple of decent photos. I’m done with photos for this dish so I may as well post the recipe. I won’t be trying to capture it on camera anytime soon. Phew, what a mission this food photography can be. It’s a miracle I’m still blogging. Well I guess I love food that much.
