Description
Asian inspired Crispy Salmon with Ginger Soy Sauce. The crunch of the salmon skin is the perfect contrast to a piece of tender, juicy salmon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (about 125g each) skin-on Salmon Fillets – clean & scales removed
- 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce or Tamari
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoon grated Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 2 bunch Bok Choy (or Chinese Kai Lan)
- Steamed Rice, to serve
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds – toasted, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat to almost smoking hot. Pat dry salmon with paper towel and place to the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until crisp. Turn for a quick 15-20 secs sear.
- Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, honey, ginger and half the sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Put a medium pot with 2 inches of water to boil. Place bok choy for 30 seconds and drain.
- Plate salmon and boy choy over rice. Drizzle over ginger and soy sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Notes:
- Clean the salmon skin by running your chef’s knife along the skin with a bit of pressure, scraping the scales off
- If you are using an uncoated pan, heat it with high smoke point oil like safflower or grapeseed oil (not olive oil). Use a sturdy, metal turner/spatula that can really get under the fish, not one of those flimsy plastic ones.
