Ingredients
- ½ Essential Pointed Cabbage
- 1 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
- 3 tsp Cooks’ Ingredients Frozen Chopped Ginger
- 15g coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves roughly chopped
- 30g Cooks’ Ingredients Frozen Miso Butter
- 2 tsp light soy sauce
- 260g pack Scottish salmon fillets
- 1 red chilli, finely sliced
- 275g pack lentil protein noodles
- 1 unwaxed lime, juice of ½, ½ cut into wedges
Method
Core and shred the cabbage, then put in a deep, microwave-safe dish or bowl along with the garlic, 2 tsp ginger, the chopped coriander stalks, 20g miso butter (about 5 pieces) and the soy sauce. Mix together, cover with a lid or plate and microwave on high for 2 minutes until softened.
Stir the cabbage mixture and sit the salmon fillets on top, dividing the remaining 10g miso butter, 1 tsp ginger and sliced red chilli between the tops of the fillets. Cover again and microwave on high for 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is completely cooked through and opaque, and can be flaked with a fork. Set aside for minutes, still covered, to rest.
Meanwhile, put the noodles in a separate bowl, cover with a plate and microwave on high for 2 minutes 30 seconds until piping hot. Uncover the fish and carefully transfer the salmon to a separate plate. Add the hot noodles to the cabbage mixture with the coriander leaves and lime juice. Divide between two serving plates or shallow bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet and serve with lime wedges.
