Codfish Balls with Savoy Cabbage - Light and Tasty

Today I've decided to cook the codfish balls to change recipe and not doing in the pan as usual. I had some leftover savoy cabbage so I've combined the two ingredients and the result has been very good and tasty! These codfish balls are light, without eggs and potatoes.

Ingredients

Frozen Codfish 2 fillets

1/4 Savoy Cabbage

Ricotta 1 spoon

Wholemeal bread  2 slices

Wholemeal Flour

Powdered Garlic

Pepper

Salt

Tahini 1 teaspoon (optional)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• Let defrost the codfish fillets and drain them, otherwise the codfish balls will be too soft.
• Let boil the savoy cabbage for 20 minutes.
• Drain the savoy cabbage e put in the mixer with the cut fish, the bread, the ricotta, the spices and the tahini. The tahini is a paste made from ground, hulled sesame seeds used to make the hummus. I've done half dose without it and the result was very good anyway.
• Now pour everything in a bowl and add a little flour to compact the mixture.
• Now shape the balls and flour them.
• Put the balls in a oven dish and pour a litthe olive oil on them. If it is needed ass some salt.

Teriyaki-inspired Salmon and Plain Rice

Last summer, when I was in Warsaw, I've eaten for the first time the Teriyaki Salmon. It was really delicious, so yesterday I decided to cook it at home but, unfortunately, the Teriyaki sauce needs specific Japanese ingredients as Mirin and Saké, which I didn't have. So I've looked how to replace those ingredients and I found out that you can use white wine instead of the sakè, and sherry or vermouth instead of the mirin. Obviously, if you have the Japanese ingredients use them!

Ingredients

For the Marinade

Soy Sauce- 2 spoons

White Wine- 1 spoon

Honey - 2 teaspoons

Sugar - 1 teaspoon

Malt Vinegar - 1 teaspoon

Ginger

Garlic - 1 clove

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For the rest of the dish

Salmon - 350 gr

Basmati Rice - 2 coffe cups

Water

Salt

2 servings

• Put all the ingredients for the marinade in the oven dish, included the garlic which I've cut into slices and the ginger. If you have the ginger powder, sprinkle a little bit, otherwise cut into slices like the garlic.
• Now place the salmon fillet in the marinade and let rest at least one hour. The more it will marinate, the more it will be tasty.
• After the marinate-time, cook the salmon in a very hot pan, starting from the skin side. During the cooking add the rest of the marinade.
• In the meantime, boil and salt the water to cook the basmati rice.
• When the salmon is ready, place in a plate with the portion of rice.
• I prefer not to add salt because the soy sauce is salty enough to me.
