SALMON WITH CHILLI, LIME AND GINGER AND ZESTY MEXICAN BEAN SALAD
To celebrate the launch of The Saucy Fish Co. products in Iceland’s The Food Warehouse I’ve created a tasty and easy to make zesty Mexican bean salad to go alongside The Saucy Fish Co. cook from frozen Salmon with Chilli, Lime & Ginger Dressing.
The Saucy Fish Co. has four of its delicious products on sale in The Food Warehouse (yes I have sampled them all!)
- Cook from frozen Salmon with Chilli, Lime & Ginger Dressing
- Cook from frozen Smoked Haddock with Cheddar & Chive Sauce
- Cook from frozen Smoked Haddock Fishcakes with a Vintage Cheddar Centre
- Cook from frozen Salmon and Cod Fishcakes with a Heavenly Hollandaise Centre
I wanted to create a recipe that would be the perfect partner to the Salmon with Chilli, Lime & Ginger Dressing- something convenient, vibrant, tasty and healthy! I went with my favourite Mexican flavours, and created a layered salad in a jar. This can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, ready to shake up as soon as it’s needed!
Watch my video to see how it’s made, and also how easy to is to cook the Saucy Fish co. salmon using it’s innovative cook-in-a-bag system!
I used wild rice here, but you can mix this up as much as you like- it works brilliantly with quinoa, couscous and any type of rice, and avocado added in at the last minute is also delicious!
There are now over 80 The Food Warehouse stores nationwide, so find your nearest one here and head over and have a look around! The Food Warehouse is a little bit like a cash and carry, with lots of bigger packs and savings, but also has the products stocked in regular Iceland stores, but with an extended range- such as The Saucy Fish Co.’s products! If you follow my Instagram Stories you’ll know that I love exploring new shops and I was really impressed by the clean and bright layout, and the great range of products available.
