Deceptively simple, all you do is brush curry sauce over the salmon steaks and fry them. You can use a good quality curry paste. Serve with rice, sliced banana and a cucumber raita and you have a healthy meal.

Directions

1. Mash the curry sauce with a fork. Add a little oil from the jar to loosen it.
2. Glaze each salmon steak on both sides with the curry paste.
3. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, and fry the salmon steaks on all sides for a minute. Turn the heat down and cook for 4 minutes a side.
4. Serve with boiled rice, sliced banana and cucumber raita (see below).

Cook’s note
You can also put the salmon steaks into a baking tray and bake in the oven at 200ºC/400ºF/Gas Mark 5 for 8 minutes.
