Method

Step 1

Whisk together the Sesame Honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with kitchen paper and season lightly with black pepper. Brush each fillet generously with the glaze.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Place the salmon skin-side down (if using skin-on fillets) and cook for 4–5 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully turn the salmon over, brush with more glaze and cook for a further 3–4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and beautifully caramelised.

Step 5

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, sliced spring onions and fresh coriander. Serve immediately with lime wedges, jasmine rice and steamed vegetables.

Chef's Tips

  • Leave the salmon at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking for more even results.
  • Avoid moving the fillets too much while cooking to help them develop a beautifully caramelised glaze.
  • Add an extra drizzle of Sesame Honey just before serving for a glossy restaurant-style finish.
  • Pair with pak choi, tenderstem broccoli or sugar snap peas for a balanced meal.
