This is so simple. Cooked in a Glass Oven Proof dish, in Varoma. The sauce is just poured over and steamed until cooked.
This is for 2 serves.
2 x 170g pieces of Salmon or Trout.
Juice of 1/2 large lemon.
1 large clove of garlic, sliced.
2 teaspoons of Baby Capers
Sprigs of Thyme.
Salt and Pepper.
Place fish in dish and add rest of ingredients.
Cover with lid and place in Varoma.
Pour boiling water, up to 1 liter mark and place Varoma on top of lid.
Varoma temp/speed 3/ 20 mins, or until cooked to your liking.
Serve with salad and rice.
Any fish would work well.

Birdie - This was very tasty for such a simple recipe and felt slimming too. I'm still getting my head around cooking in the Varoma and was wondering whether to put a lid on the glass bowl with the fish and sauce in it, or not? In the end I left it off for the first half of cooking and then put it on for the last half. Still tasted nice.
Chookie - I put the lid on, but you could just cover it with a couple of sheets of hand towel so that the water from the lid of the Varoma doesn't drip in to the sauce.
CarolineW - I made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit with the whole family . I made it as is except that my capers were homemade pickled nasturtium pod capers, and I added a small squirt of runny honey as I didn't want to risk it being too tart for DD2.
I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Birdie - I have also just made a similar salmon dish from the January Womens Weekly - a Julie Goodwin recipe - where you place matchsticks of ginger, 1/4 cup apricot jam, 2 tblspn soy sauce and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and boil 2 -3 min until syrupy. The sauce/glaze is drizzled over the pan-fried salmon and sprinkled with sesame seeds. She served it with soba noodles and steamed veges. We liked this one too. It could probably be made in the TMX.
Chookie - Birdie, this recipe looks great. Just cook the syrup in the TMX and poach the fish in this sauce in the Varoma.

yum yum yum
Could I use Barramundi or Ocean Perch instead of salmon. My boys don't like salmon.
-
DG, any fish would work well. Thought I might try it with Sword fish next.
-
Definately on the list to try once the Fish Man comes back from holidays.
-
Is he off catching fish?
-
Sounds lovely Chookie. I'm always looking for new recipes for salmon fillets. :)
-
Looks lovely. I can't wait to try it as I am getting bored with my current repertoire of salmon!
-
Yum going to try this too, I do love Atlantic salmon with a bit of horseradish cream.
-
With a nice low calorie meal like that Chookie, you must be back on your diet ;) Good one.
-
Judy, how did you guess.
Breakfast and dinner, special Bircher's Museli, 1 1/2 cups Rolled oats, 500g Buttermilk or 250g low fat yog and 250 skim milk, 2 Apples cored, Zap all hell of it and eat 200g each meal with an extra piece of fruit.
Walk 10,000 steps each day.
Watch this space!!! for meals with 300 cals.
Today was 410 cals as I had 1/2 cup of rice and 1/4 Avo.

Yum! Yum! Beth. We love Salmon so can't wit to make it. Thanks so much.

You sound pretty serious about it Chookie - is it easy to walk 10,000 steps a day without taking off on a trek somewhere :P

Not all that hard, Judy. A couple of visits to the chooks, a fast walk around the garden and just cleaning up the house and as DG says hanging out the washing and bringing it in, all adds up. Sitting her typing is not good for the steps. ;D ;D ;D
-
Yes I hope my fishman is off cthing some lovely fish for me to buy Friday ;)
Perhaps get a mini stepper and then you can step while you type LOL ;D

Good idea DG. The problem is my typing is bad enough as is. ;D

Linda, glad you tried this one as it is nice. I put the lid on, but you could just cover it with a couple of sheets of hand towel so that the water from the lid of the Varoma doesn't drip in to the sauce. You also might like the one with Lemon and capers. Sorry still can't link.
-
:D :D This is the one with lemon and capers Chookie - did you mean your Sweet Chilli one?
-
Yes Judy, what an idiot I am.

Sorry if this is slightly off at a tangent - Chookie, at our advanced class on the weekend, we were introduced to deep fried capers - have you ever heard of them? I didn't get to taste as I was working but people were raving about the crunch factor.
-
Yes Judy, what an idiot I am.
No, just busy and very generous at sharing recipes (imagine a kissing emoticon here as I can't access them right now).
Here's some for you Caroline :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Thanks for the reply, I understand the need to cover now to stop water dripping in. The salmon in sweet chilli sauce recipe looks lovely too.
I have also just made a similar salmon dish from the January Womens Weekly - a Julie Goodwin recipe - where you place matchsticks of ginger, 1/4 cup apricot jam, 2 tblspn soy sauce and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and boil 2 -3 min until syrupy.

Thanks Chookie, wondering how it would be done. Just made some apricot jam the other night, have some salmon in the freezer and I might just try this one very soon.
