Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. Rinse the rice, add 130 ml water and salt, and cook covered for 15 minutes until tender.

  2. Boil the broccoli4 in boiling water for 4–5 minutes, until the florets are tender but still hold their shape, then drain in a colander.

  3. Cut the salmon1 into large pieces and pat dry.

  4. Heat the oil in a skillet and sear the salmon1 for 2–3 minutes on one side until golden brown.

  5. Flip, pour in the teriyaki sauce, and cook for another 3–4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish, until it is opaque inside and flakes easily with a fork.

  6. Serve the salmon1 with the rice and broccoli4, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tips

Why it works
Pat the salmon dry before frying. A dry surface forms a crust faster, and the sauce won't get watered down by extra moisture.
Substitutions
Replace the basmati with regular long-grain rice in the same amount. Swap the broccoli for 120 g cauliflower, the flavor will be milder.
Common mistakes
Salmon is most often overcooked. It turns dry and light pink all the way through, and the pieces start to crumble before 6–7 minutes.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat the rice and broccoli in the microwave, and warm the salmon briefly, 30–40 seconds, so it doesn't dry out.
Serve with
Serve for dinner with cucumber or a simple fresh cabbage salad if you want more crunch.
