Fish Yassa

I recently spent two weeks in Gambia with the school where I work, and I loved the food so I decided to have a go at a bit of Gambian cooking. I used salmon for this recipe because it's what I had in the freezer, but any firm fish would work and chicken yassa is also good.

Ingredients (serves 2)
2 medium onions, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
4 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tbsp lazy chilli
1 cup water
1 vegetable stock cube
2 salmon fillets

* mix together the onion, garlic, vinegar, lemon, mustard and chilli then add the fish and marinate for at least an hour but preferably longer
* remove the fish from the marinade and grill or griddle until lightly browned
* remove the onions from the marinade and lightly fry until golden brown and softened
* add the marinade to the onions and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the water, stock cube and salmon
* cover and simmer for 20 minutes
* serve with rice
