Ingredients

  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp sunflower
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 red pepper deseeded
  • 1 carrot thinly sliced
  • 125 g broccoli
  • 25 g unsalted cashew nuts
  • 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 15 g fresh root ginger
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • ½ unwaxed lemon grated zest
  • 150 ml pint vegetable stock

Instructions

  • Each salmon fillet should have 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds sprinkled on top of it. Light pressure should be used to help the seeds adhere.
  • Cook the salmon fillets, seed side down, in a large frying pan with 1 teaspoon of the oil heated over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until gently browned. For 2 minutes, flip it over and cook the other side. Then carefully turn over and cook for a further 30 seconds on each side. Place on a platter.
  • The onion, pepper, carrot, and broccoli should be stir-fried for 4 minutes after returning the pan to the heat and adding the remaining oil. When the vegetables are tender-crisp and the nuts are starting to brown, add the cashews and stir-fry for an additional two minutes. Cook the garlic and ginger for an additional minute while stirring often.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cornflour, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Pour the lemon mixture into the pan, then add the stock and bring to a simmer. Cook while stirring for 10 to 20 seconds or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  • Place the salmon back in the pan, nestled among the veggies, and cook through for 1-2 minutes without stirring. Lemon zest, grated, should be added before serving.
