Salmon and rice

 
Recently when a cousin visited us in Sydney, her daughter noticed this pickle in the Indian food store we were browsing saying they had that at home and it was quite nice. I took her recommendation and bought the bottle. It is very hot and tastes like the Chinese pickled chilli one eats with wantan mee in Malaysia. It goes very well with any Indian meal, it adds the sour citrus flavours with the chilli kick. Exactly what we need when cooking for children sans chilli.

I dont cook much Indian food, but something that works is grilled salmon, healthy, quick, full of omega 3. However, being farmed salmon, there is such a great risk the flavours just isn't good enough always. I marinade the fish and here is the quick grilled salmon I find works. Eaten with this chilli pickle, it works to make a favourite comfort food.
