Method

  1. Cook the bulghar wheat following pack instructions. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 3 mins on each side. Stir in the spring onions and cook for 1 min. Add lemon juice, honey, orange juice and zest to the pan and bubble for 1 min more to make a sauce.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the green beans for 4 mins or until tender. Drain. Stir the bulghar wheat with a fork, mixing in the green beans, lemon zest and a little of the sauce. Serve the salmon on a bed of bulghar and beans, with the rest of the sauce spooned over.

For an alternative sauce, replace the spring onions with 2 tsp shredded ginger. Add the zest and juice ½ lime, the juice ½ orange and 3 tbsp Thai sweet chilli sauce and bubble for 1 min to combine. Serve with Thai jasmine rice.

    I only cooked this because it was healthy but everyone enjoyed it! I will do it again soon. I used cous cous instead of bulgar because the children prefer the softer texture. When I tasted the sauce I thought it was too strong but it really worked well with the fish, beans and extra broccoli that I cooked.

    Both version's of this dish are currently my favourite way to eat Salmon. Perfect for the Monday evening meal after a heavy weekend, when I'm looking for something healthy and not too strodgy. The Chilli version worked quite nicely on Satutrday night with a nice bottle Chardonnay!

    I made a bit of a mixture of the two recipe suggestions, I pan fried the salmon and then popped it in the oven whilst I fried off the ginger & spring onion, I then added the zest & juice of a lime, the juice of half a lemon and 3 tbsp of sweet chilli. I also added the green beans to the bulghar wheat 4 mins before the end of cooking and asparagus tips 2 mins later. A very tasty supper!

    Easy, healthy and filling. I'm actually not a big fan of using orange in savoury recipes, but this was lovely. Highly recommended.

    Really nice recipe - not cooked bulghar wheat before and it was very nice with the citrus flavours and the salmon. I tried the sauce on its own whilst cooking and was worried it might be a bit overpowering but it worked perfectly with the fish, beans and bulghar. My husband isn't usually a fan of orange flavour in savoury food but he thought this was delicious. I cook quite a lot of salmon so it was nice to find a new way to cook it. Will be making again
