Best of the Markets

As you all know, Wednesday is my favourite day because it's market day in Brisbane city. This recipe shows off the best produce from the Jan Power's Farmers' Markets. The salmon (beautiful Atlantic Salmon from Tasmania) is from the Princess Charlotte Seafoods,the tomatoes are from Classical Tomatoes*, and the herbs are from Zesty Herbs.

Salmon with tomato and lime salsa

Ingredients (serves 2)
1 long red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
2 tsp caster sugar
1 tbs lime juice, plus lime wedges to serve
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 bunch coriander leaves
½ bunch mint leaves
1 punnet grape tomatoes, halved
2 spring onions or ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
2 fillets salmon or ocean trout fillets
2 tbs olive oil

Method
1. Preheat the grill to a medium/high heat
2. Place the chilli, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce and sesame oil in a bowl and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Tear the herbs in a separate bowl and add the tomatoes and onion.
4. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
5. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick ovenproof frypan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to the grill and cook, skin side up until crispy and the salmon is cooked to your liking.
6. Just before serving, toss the dressing with the tomato mixture.
7. Place the salmon on a plate and top with the salsa. Serve with lime wedges.
8. You could serve this with steamed jasmine rice as well.

* Classical Tomatoes: these are the greatest tomatoes I have EVER tasted. The tomatoes are grown on a farm which are organic, poison free, they are pollinated by native bees, and they are grown to classical music.
