Thomasina Miers’ says “The scant amount of salmon in this recipe stretches amazingly well, making this an affordable, healthy dish I’d happily eat every week. I usually pair it with noodles, but it’s equally good with rice.”
The chile de árbol is a small, spicy Mexican chilli. You could use 1 tsp chilli flakes instead.
Health editor Anne Montague says: “Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help blood to flow through the body smoothly and prevent blood clots forming. It’s also one of the few food sources of vitamin D, the ‘sunshine vitamin’ needed for strong bones and immunity, which is in short supply during the winter months. Plus the vitamin C-rich greens and antibacterial benefits of garlic may help you to fend off colds and flu.”
