Our Fave quick dinner mid week is Salmon on rice. We marinade the salmon in a quick curry paste and yoghurt mix (though i'm sure you could use something other then yoghurt for dairy free). We usually do tikka massala or tandoori as these generally go best with the salmon.

The rice we do in the microwave, we add some turmeric, cumin seeds, lemon zest and cardamon pods to flavour the rice while its cooking.

Cook Salmon on the bbq. Then when rice is done, add juice of 1 lemon and a handful of fresh coriander leaves stirred through.

We servce it with mango chutney and yoghurt.

I know there are no veggies in there which is a bit of a no no, but on nights when we are really pushed for time we figure its still better then getting take out wink.gif

We've been doing a lot of wraps this summer. Basically just grill the meat you're using, and put that, some salad bits and pieces and the wrap on a plate and build your own. Very little cooking, and you could easily do a double batch to have hot one night with vegies and then cold the next day in a wrap.
