Dairy Free and Delicious : Salmon and Broccoli Bowl

Do you think meals should always be served on plates? I don't, because I think there are certain meals that lend themselves to be served in a bowl. Like this meal suggestion for instance, it really does work well in a bowl! This delicious salmon recipe bursts with flavour. It is full of healthy fats, and could make you a perfect midweek meal. Read on and see what you think ...

Ingredients

Serves One
1 small swede/rutabaga/turnip, peeled and diced
½ head broccoli, cut into florets
1 tin salmon in spring-water or 100g (3 ½ oz) fresh salmon fillet, skinned and de-boned
125ml (4 fl. oz/ ½ cup) almond or coconut milk
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Method
1. Cook the *swede/rutabaga/turnip (see tip) and broccoli in a saucepan of boiling water for 8 – 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. If using fresh salmon, put the salmon in a small frying pan over medium heat and pour over the almond milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 7 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked.
3. Place the salmon, with the almond milk it was cooked in, and the cooked vegetables in a food processor and pulse to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother consistency, add more almond milk. If you prefer a chunkier version, omit the processing step and simply mix everything together in a bowl... see note below.
4. Serve with a grind of black pepper - it just adds to the taste!

Note
A chunkier version (which I prefer) is good, but see for yourself which you'd rather have!
Tip
* Needs to be tender - so do check
