Steamed Salmon, streamed rice with Vietnamese Carrot Salad
I've been cooking low fat, low cal a bit more recently in an effort to reduce the lbs. I love Asian food so this recipe from Good Food website jumped out at me.

Since I have a very handy rice steamer, I decided to steam the rice and cook the salmon above it at the same time. Whilst that was going on I did the carrot salad.
2 limes , 1 juiced and 1 cut into cheeks to serve
3 tbsp fish sauce
3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 cm chunk root ginger , finely grated
3 large carrots , finely shredded - a mandolin does the job quickly
½ white cabbage , very finely shredded
a large bunch mint , chopped
a large handful peanuts , toasted and chopped
Mix all the wet ingerdients together and add to the cabbage, carrot, mint. Throw in the nuts at the end. It was really delicious and very healthy.
