Annette Gibbons came onboard Phoenix on Thursday and shared one of her favourite seafood recipes with us.

Annette writes for Cumbria Life magazine and teaches cookery classes. She is catering for 60 people at a party on Phoenix while she is in Silloth.


Ingredients
For four people

½ small pineapple - peeled and cored
½ mango - peeled and stone removed

4 salmon steaks

1 tbsp sunflower oil

½ red onion - peeled and finely diced
1 large tomato - peeled and diced

1 red chilli - deseeded and finely chopped
juice of 1 lemon

2 tbsp fresh mint - chopped
salt and pepper to season

Method:
1: Cut the fruit into small, even cubes then place in a sieve to drain off the juice.

2: Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
Turn them in a little oil and cook under a pre-heated grill for about 3 minutes on each side.

3: While the fish is cooking, gently mix the fruit together and add the red onion, tomato, chilli and lemon juice. Stir in the mint.

4: Warm the salsa gently.

5: Put the fish on a heated serving plate and garnish with the salsa.

Annette's top tip:
  • When grilling the salmon, test with a knife. When cooked, the flesh in the centre should still be slightly pink and translucent.
