Ingredients:
For the salmon & marinade:
-
1 salmon fillet
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp sushi vinegar
-
1 tsp yuzu ponzu sauce (or lemon juice if substituting)
-
1 tsp honey
-
2 garlic clove (minced)
-
1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
-
½ tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
-
Sliced spring onions (for garnish)
For the stir-fried veg:
-
Edamame beans (shelled, about ½ cup)
-
Tenderstem broccoli or broccolini
-
Sliced mushrooms
-
Soy sauce (dash, for seasoning)
-
Neutral oil for cooking
For the quick pickled cucumber:
-
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
-
¼ cup sushi vinegar
-
1 tbsp sugar or honey
-
A few whole black peppercorns
-
Chili flakes (optional)
🧑🍳 Instructions:
1. Marinate the Salmon
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sushi vinegar, yuzu sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Place the salmon fillet in the marinade, skin side down. Let it sit for at least 15–30 minutes in the fridge.
2. Pickle the Cucumber
In a container, mix sushi vinegar, sugar/honey, peppercorns, and chili flakes. Add sliced cucumber and let it pickle while everything else cooks. (The longer the better — even overnight!)
3. Cook the Salmon
Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F)
Place salmon skin side down on a tray). Roast until cooked through and glazed (about 8–10 minutes depending on thickness). Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
4. Stir-Fry the Veg
In a hot pan, add oil and toss in mushrooms, edamame, and broccoli. Stir-fry with a splash of soy sauce until vibrant and tender-crisp.
5. Assemble the Plate
Lay down a bed of the stir-fried veg, place the glazed salmon on top, garnish with sliced spring onion and sesame seeds. Serve with a few pickled cucumber slices on the side for that zingy contrast.
✅ Pro Tips:
-
Want more sauce? Reduce the leftover marinade in a small saucepan to drizzle on top. (this will up your carbs, be careful!)
-
Add Zoodles or 0 carb rice if you want to bulk it up.
