This recipe is a new favourite of mine as the weather gets warmer. It’s super satisfying and packed full of a diverse range of veggies to feed your gut microbiome, antioxidants to reduce inflammation and protein to support your hunger hormones to keep you feeling satisfied after eating.

Salad ingredients 

2 heads of broccoli – sliced finely 

2 cups of shredded kale  

1 cup shredded red cabbage  

Half green chilli – sliced  

¼ cup of chopped almonds  

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar  

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil  

1 tbsp lemon juice  

Pinch of sea salt flakes 

Dressing 

5cm ginger grated 

2 tbsp tamari (gf soy sauce) 

1 tbsp tahini 

Juice of half a lemon 

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil  

Dash of sesame oil  

Dash of maple syrup  

Fish 

1 fillet of snapper (or any white fish) - chopped into cubes 

1 cup GF breadcrumbs  

1 egg – whisked 

1 tbsp coconut oil for frying  

Method 

1. Prepare the broccoli and kale first – place into a large bowl and add apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and salt – massage into the kale leaves and broccoli – place in the fridge for 5 minutes before adding the red cabbage, green chilli and almonds 

2. Place all ingredients for the dressing into a bowl and stir to combine – until the tahini is smooth with no lumps or separation this can take a minute or so of stirring, drizzle over the salad 

3. Prepare fish by dipping cubes into egg, roll fish through bread crumbs until evenly coated  

4. Heat coconut oil in a frying pan, until oil is hot enough to create a bit of a sizzle when you place the crumbed fish into the oil, fry evenly for around 2 minutes on each side depending on the size of the cubes this may take a little longer – check that fish is cooked through.  

5. Serve the salad and place fish on top, enjoy!
