A great simple dish and super healthy for those still on the New Year health kick !
Needed
500g mussels
2 Salmon fillets
2 carrots finely sliced
3 celery stick finely sliced
1 garlic clove finely chopped
2 shallot finely chopped
1 glass white wine
Six simple steps
Gently wash the mussels in cold water and discard any opened mussels .
In a large sauce pan add a little olive oil, on a high heat add the mussels and cover with a lid. After 30 seconds stir add the white wine and allow to steam for another 3 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool.
In another large, flat bottomed pan sweat the garlic and shallots, then add the celery and carrots, cook until the vegetables start to soften.
Strain the liquid from the mussel through a fine sieve and pour into the vegetables, add the salmon fillets ensuring the salmon is covered. Simmer on a low heat until the salmon is cooked, this should only take 8-10 minutes; the salmon should feel firm when cooked.
While the Salmon is poaching, pick the mussels from their shells discard any mussels that are unopened.
When the salmon is cooked through add the mussels back to the broth to warm through. Check the seasoning and serve. Simple !
