Equipment

  • oven
  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Small paper-lined baking dish
  • small saucepan
  • large saucepan
  • fork

Ingredients
  

Teriyaki salmon

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove fresh garlic, crushed
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 large salmon fillet approximately 200g

Ginger sesame greens

  • 5 large handfuls greens bok choy, gia lan, snow peas or favorite greens
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce

Coconut rice

  • 1 cup jasmine rice rinsed thoroughly
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1.25 cups boiling water

Toppings

  • toasted sesame seeds or black sesame seeds
  • 4 pieces spring onions, finely chopped
  • Japanese mayonnaise for drizzling optional

Instructions
 

Teriyaki salmon

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine honey, tamari, mirin, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
  • Coat the salmon fillet with the sauce mixture.
  • Place the salmon and the combined sauce into a small paper-lined baking dish.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, adjusting time to desired doneness. For a crisp top, consider using the oven's oven+grill function or bake for 15 minutes, then grill for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven once cooked.

Coconut rice

  • In a small saucepan, combine coconut oil, rinsed rice, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add boiling water, bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat with the lid on for 15 minutes.
  • DO NOT remove the lid at any time. We want all the steam trapped in the pot to create that perfectly fluffy rice.
  • Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 3-5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Set aside.

Ginger sesame greens

  • While rice and salmon cook, heat a large saucepan with sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
  • Add the greens and sauté on medium heat until vibrant and slightly wilted.
  • Add the tamari and stir to combine.

To assemble

  • Add a scoop of rice to each serving bowl, some salmon and surrounding leftover baked sauce, and arrange the ginger sesame greens.
  • Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and spring onions.
  • Optionally, drizzle Japanese mayonnaise on top.
