Why not throw a Galentine's Day date night with the girls this year? From our G&T salmon recipe, to a Love Potion cocktail (or mocktail), we've got your night in covered.

G&T Salmon

Move over viral vodka pasta… There's a new girls night dish in town. Salmon roasted in the tray with a lemon, pink gin, tonic, salt, sugar, coriander and chili marinade served loaded onto flatbreads with an avocado and pineapple salsa with cucumber and radish discs. Serve with a large glass of pink gin and tonic and let the Galentine's celebrations commence.

Serves - 2 

Cooking Time - 30 mins plus 20 mins marinating

Ingredients

For the marinade:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice & zest of 1 lemon
  • 50ml Gin
  • 100ml tonic
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • Small handful coriander roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp red chilli finely chopped
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp cayenne 
  • 2 salmon fillets

For the salsa:

  • 1/3 pineapple skin removed & diced
  • 1 avo skin removed & diced
  • 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • Small handful coriander roughly chopped

For the chipotle mayo (optional):

  • 1 tsp chipotle paste
  • 3 tbsp mayo 

For the rest:

  • 2 flatbreads
  • 1/3 cucumber cut into thin disks
  • 5 radishes cut into thin disks

Method

  1. Mix all marinade ingredients together plus a tsp of salt and big pinch of pepper in a small bowl and pop your salmon fillets in a small, oven-proof dish. Cover your salmon fillets in marinade and pop in the fridge for 20 mins. 
  2. Meanwhile, mix all salsa ingredients in a medium bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper and pop to one side. Mix mayo ingredients in another small bowl and set aside for later. Pre-heat your oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.  
  3. Remove your salmon from the fridge, spoon over marinade within dish and bake in the oven uncovered for 15 mins. When it has 5 minutes left, griddle your flatbreads.
  4. Remove your salmon fillets from the oven and flake away the meat from the skin. Now to load up! Spread a generous helping of the mayo on each flatbread and pile with salsa followed by G&T salmon, cucumber and radish disks for a tipsy twist to your dinner for two this Valentine's.
