This is a little bit of a cheat recipe, as it uses shop bought thai curry paste. Luckily for me,  I live close to a massive asian supermarket and work near Chinatown, so I have access to some really good stuff quite easily. It’s also where I found the frozen edamame beans. If you can’t get hold of them, broad beans would work too.

Another cheat is to use pre-cooked quinoa pouches. I swear by them as it saves lots of time and effort and puts the microwave to good use for once!

I always thought that a curry paste might be too strong for fish, but salmon holds up really well and the flavour still comes through.  This recipe has everything going for it – it’s super healthy, super fresh and super tasty.
