Salmon & stir fry: the ultimate fast food!

Wow!  A three-course, cross-continent meal last night ... and it only took 3/4 hour to prepare.  That's what I call "fast food"!!

We started with a shared plate of Antipasti, the Italian first course made up of a selection of tasty tidbits.  Ours included olives, artichoke hearts, avocado wedges, Peppadew sweet peppers stuffed with cream cheese, and mushrooms - the only hot element of the dish.  We enjoyed it so much that we've decided to expand it tonight and make it our main meal, perhaps with some homemade soup alongside it.



Following this, we moved to Asia and enjoyed a bowl of stir-fried vegetables (Tesco stir-fry mix and a pack of sugar-snap peas) topped with a salmon fillet (which, you may notice, got slightly overcooked!).  I flavoured the stir-fry with a crushed garlic clove, some freshly-grated ginger, half a small red chilli and a shake of light soy sauce.  The salmon was from the Saucy Fish Company and came with a very nice watercress dressing.



And my third course? ... a slice of melon, which helped cool down my mouth after the chilli heat!  Although it was delicious, I think we might put in a smidgen less, next time.
