Teriyaki Salmon with Sesame Pak Choi recipe by Cherrypick

Sweet chilli, honey, sesame oil, mirin and soy combine to make a punchy sauce for fish. Elaine Paige’s dish is a simple and quick midweek meal.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put the skinless salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish.

Step 2

Mix the sweet chilli sauce, honey*, half of the **sesame oil, mirin or dry sherry, soy sauce* and finely grated ginger in a small bowl and pour over the salmon so the fillets are completely covered. Bake for 10 mins.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook the pak choi. Cut a slice across the base of the large pak choi so the leaves separate. If serving with rice or noodles, cook these now according to the packet instructions.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil and remaining sesame oil in a wok, add the grated garlic cloves and stir-fry briefly to soften.

Step 5

Add the pak choi and fry until the leaves start to wilt. Pour over the fish or vegetable stock, tightly cover the pan and allow to cook for 5 mins – you're aiming for the stems to be tender but still have a bit of bite.

Step 6

Serve the pak choi in shallow bowls, top with the salmon and spoon over the juices. Scatter toasted sesame seeds and serve with brown rice or noodles, if you like.
