  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC (390ºF) bake function.
  2. Place the sushi rice on to cook (we used the absorption method on the back of the packet).
  3. Line a shallow roasting pan with baking paper.
  4. In a small bowl mix the garlic oil, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, vinegar and sesame oil.
  5. Place the salmon, skin side down, in the roasting pan and brush over half the soy sauce mixture. Place in the oven and bake for 6 minutes, brush with more soy glaze, then bake for a further 6 minutes. Once the salmon is cooked grill/broil in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelise the glaze.
  6. While the salmon cooks, make the lime mayo and prep the vegetables. Zest the lime. Add the zest and juice to the mayo and mix well.
  7. Peel and slice the cucumber into chunky sticks. Thinly slice the radish, slice and measure out the avocado.
  8. Cut the nori into small strips (we used scissors to do this).
  9. Once the sushi rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and then mix through the rice wine vinegar and white sugar. Taste and adjust the sugar if needed.
  10. Place the cooked sushi rice, glazed salmon, and veggies in bowls. Garnish with nori strips, sesame seeds and finely sliced spring onion/scallion leaves. Add a drizzle of lime mayo and serve with extra slices of lime.
  11. Serving note: You can enjoy this dish warm or cold.

Buying Tips

Garlic infused oil is normally found in the oil section of your local supermarket or you can buy it online. It should be clear with no floating bits of garlic.

You can also make garlic infused oil at home by frying garlic cloves in cooking oil until they are golden and fragrant, then remove and discard the garlic before you continue cooking your meal. This is a low FODMAP way to capture the garlic flavour as the fructans can't leach into the oil.

Check the crushed ginger does not contain garlic. Crushed ginger is grated ginger that has been preserved in a jar. You can swap it for fresh ginger if you prefer.

Nori sheets are found in most Asian food stores and should be stocked in your local supermarket.

Buy a bunch of spring onions/scallions with long green leaves. You can use the green leaves in your low FODMAP meals, just make sure you avoid using the white stem and lime green stems as these are high FODMAP. Once you've harvested the leaves pop the spring onion/scallion bulbs into a glass of water on the window sill. The leaves will reshoot so you can harvest them again.

Small amounts of avocado are low FODMAP. Just make sure you limit your serving to a 2 tablespoon serve (30g/1.06oz).

The amount of wheat in regular soy sauce is low FODMAP, however if you are feeling concerned you can buy gluten free soy sauce (Tamari).

Choose a mayonnaise that does not include onion or garlic powder. We like using Best Foods Mayonnaise (Lite or regular). If you are a meal plan member you can also grab the recipe for our egg free mayonnaise here.

Gluten Free Tips

If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check all packaged products, processed meat (like bacon), nuts, seeds and dried fruit do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
