How To Use Up Overripe Bananas

Bananas are a definite favourite in our house and we always have plenty in the fruit bowl. The problem is, that they often become overripe before we get round to finishing the bunch. Well we hate waste and we love cake, so here is a simple little banana loaf recipe to use up those lonely ripe bananas. It's easy and quick to make and tastes delicious.

Ingredients

150g butter

150g caster sugar

2 large eggs beaten

2 ripe bananas (mashed)

150g self raisingflour

1/2 tsp baking powder

50g Dark chocolate chips

Method:

• Pre-heat your oven to gas mark 4
• Cream your butter and sugar together
• Beat in the eggs
• Mix in the banana
• Fold in the flour, baking powder and chocolate chips
• Pour into a greased and floured loaf tin and cook in the oven for 40 - 45 minutes until golden on top. (To ensure your cake is cooked, insert a skewer, if it comes out clean, your cake is cooked.)

Quick and Easy Soy and Honey Glazed Salmon

I'm always on the look out for super easy and super tasty recipes that use fresh and healthy ingredients and this salmon recipe certainly ticks all those boxes.

15 minute prep-time        10 minute cooking time

Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets (skin on)

100mls dark soy sauce

2 tablespoons of lime juice

2 tablespoons honey

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1cm piece fresh ginger, crushed

Handful of chopped coriander to garnish

Method:

1. Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice and the crushed garlic and ginger until the honey has dissolved and pour into a dish large enough for your salmon fillets
2. Lie your salmon fillets, skin side up into the bowl and allow to marinade for 10 minutes
3. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and add the salmon and marinade sauce and fry for 7 - 10 minutes until sauce becomes sticky and salmon is fully cooked. (Fry skin side down for longer for a crispy skin)
4. Serve with rice and fried courgette and garnish with coriander
5. Why not keep a little of the sauce back before marinating so you can flavour your rice with it?
