Ingredients
BROWN RICE
- 1/2 cup Japanese brown rice
- 3/4 cup water
SESAME SPINACH SLAW
- 1/3 bag baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 carrot
- 1/2 shallot
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
TERIYAKI SALMON
- 150g salmon fillet
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, to serve
Steps
-
Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a small pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid at any time during cooking.
-
Roughly chop spinach; peel carrot and cut into thin matchsticks or grate; finely slice shallot. Combine all in a small bowl.
-
When rice is steaming, pat salmon dry with paper towels and remove any remaining scales or pin-bones. Heat a small, dry, frypan on medium heat. Toast sesame seeds until light brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from pan and set aside; increase heat to high and add a drizzle of oil. Fry salmon, skin-side-down, for about 3 minutes, until skin is crispy. Flip and cook for a further 2 minutes for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from pan, reduce heat to low and add teriyaki sauce. Leave to simmer until thickened and glaze-like, about 30 seconds. Remove pan from heat and return salmon to pan and turn to coat in sauce.
-
Toss sesame oil, lemon juice and half the sesame seeds through slaw.
-
Spoon cup cooked rice onto a plate with slaw, salmon and drizzle over remaining teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle over coriander and remaining sesame seeds.
