Last week I attended one of Emma’s cookery demonstration days. It is the second one I have been to. I can highly recommend them. Her recipes never fail to be unusual and delightful. As she makes the dishes Emma takes the time to explain the health benefits of each ingredient and how our body processes them. The theme for the day was about how to eat tasty food and still maintain a healthy weight. She shared some sweet treats alongside the savory recipes.
Another benefit I find with Emma’s recipes is that they are relatively quick to make. We all lead busy lives these days. Many of the dishes can be made in advance or frozen ensuring that you always have a good meal at the ready.
I have already made this salmon and ginger broth at home. It is so quick to make and really warming and tasty especially in these colder months.
You can make the sauce in advance and then just before serving add the spinach, the salmon and stir in the fresh coriander. You could even freeze the sauce and then defrost and add the rest of the ingredients.
Ginger is among the healthiest and tastiest spices and really livens up a dish. You can grate it into lots of dishes to add extra flavour.
It is packed with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have many powerful benefits.
Ginger has a long history of use in various forms of traditional/alternative medicine. It has been used to help digestion, reduce nausea and help fight the flu and common cold.
Gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger, responsible for much of its medicinal properties. It has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
You can serve this with brown rice.

I find that Saute pans are the best for making this recipe. JohnLewis&Parnters have a good selection.

Is the brocoli in the photo instead of spinach or kale?
HI Julie
The image shows broccoli as well as spinach. I think you can use any green vegetable you like and have to hand.
I’ve made this several times since you posted it. Sometimes I use white fish for a change. I cut down on the liquid, so it’s less soupy and more of a curry, and serve it with either rice or Moroccan bread which my local baker sells. Thank you.
