Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- lime juice of 1
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes or 1 red chilli, diced
- 2 cm ginger peeled and chopped into thin slices
- 4 salmon approx. 130g / 4½oz each, fillets
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sunflower or wok oil
- sesame seeds optional, for garnish
- red chili optional, sliced, for garnish
To serve
- broccoli Tenderstem broccoli, pak choi and/or green beans
- pak choi
- Green bean
- jasmine rice or basmati or brown rice
- 1 lime cut into quarters (optional)
Instructions
- Mix together the soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, chilli flakes and ginger in a bowl to make a simple marinade.
- Cut each salmon fillet into 4 equal chunks and place into the marinade. Turn the salmon pieces over a few times to coat them in the marinade and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Place the oil into a large frying pan or wok and heat over a medium-high heat for 1 minute. Place the salmon, skin-side-down, into the hot pan, reserving the marinade for later. (Take care not to get splashed with hot oil!)
- Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side (top and bottom sides, not all the sides!) and then turn the heat down to medium-low and tip in the leftover marinade. Cook for a further 2 minutes until the marinade has thickened slightly.
- Sprinkle the salmon with a few sesame seeds and some sliced chilli. Serve with rice and steamed green vegetables. I like to put the soy sauce, sesame oil and a few lime quarters on the table for everyone to help themselves to extra.
