Satay Chicken Rice Traybake with Tomatoes and Broccoli
A super easy chicken traybake which can be prepped in minutes and uses easy to access ingredients you probably have in cupboards already. It makes great leftovers and actually tastes better the next day. I always use chicken thighs in traybakes, they don’t dry out in the oven as easily as chicken breasts and they are much more flavoursome. They are cheaper too. Baking the thighs on top of the rice ensures that it soaks up all the delicious chicken juices as it cooks and coating it with a mixture of crunchy peanut butter, soy, honey, lime and ginger means it goes lovely and crispy in the oven and keeps is extra moist.
Curried Salmon Noodle Salad with Satay Dressing
This salmon noodle salad may be my new favourite salad recipe, purely because it doesn’t feel like you’re eating a salad but you’re still getting all the veggie goodness. It’s also one of those salads that actually taste better the day after, or after being dressed for a few hours so there are no soggy salad leaves woes here. The curried salmon fillets stay so moist but still have a slight crust by cooking them in the air fryer (you would also get the same result grilling them in the oven). A yummy peanut dressing made from peanut butter, soy, ginger, plenty of lime and some honey is so moreish and coats the vermicelli noodles so they become glossy and yummy. You won’t be able to stop sticking your fork in for more.
Ultimate Chicken Satay
Everyone loves chicken satay and that’s because there is everything to love about this dish. Tender baked chicken thighs covered in a rich coconut peanut sauce with a slight hint of chilli heat, salty umami soy and zingy lime. A crunchy grilled topping and sweet honey glaze completes the dish while all you need to serve with it is some steamed basmati rice and sesame wok greens. Simple, but so effective and the perfect midweek meal to impress.
Satay Glazed Halibut with Ginger Pak Choi Soba Noodles
I love halibut. I have been wanting to try a recipe for my favourite fish which uses Asian flavours for a while now and after coming up with this recipe, I think it could become one of my favourite ways to cook the fish. I got the most beautiful pieces of chunky fish from David Lowrie Fish in St. Monans. I priced this recipe out using frozen cod fillets, but if you can, visit your local fishmonger for any firm, chunky white fish you can get. Fresh, flavoursome, fast food which feels super special - my favourite kind of meal.
Chicken Satay with Mango, Lime, Charred Pineapple and Peanut Salad
Everyone loves chicken satay and this is my go-to recipe for the juiciest, most succulent chicken thighs in a moreishly aromatic peanut marinade. With a fresh mango, lime, carrot and charred pineapple salad it is fresh, healthy and full of flavour and texture.
