Ingredients
The salmon

6tbsphoisin sauce
3tbspsoy sauce
1lime, juice of
1tbspginger, finely grated
2clovesgarlic, grated or crushed
Sesame seeds
To serve
300gbroccoli, cut into small florets
1/2cucumber, sliced
4spring onions, finely sliced
Fresh basil or microgreens, optional
Cooked rice
Chilli mayo
Chilli oil – I use Lao Gan Ma crispy chilli
Instructions
Mix the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger and garlic to make the marinade.
Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces and pour a little of the marinade over. Not all of it – the pieces should only be lightly coated. The rest of the marinade is used for serving.
Turn the salmon pieces in a thick coating of sesame seeds. It is easiest to roll the pieces in the seeds so they stick in a single, even layer.
AIR FRYER: Spread the salmon out in the basket of your preheated air fryer (don't pack the pieces too closely), spray with cooking spray and cook at 200°C for about 6 minutes – depending on the size of the pieces. OVEN: Alternatively, spread the pieces out on a baking tray lined with baking paper, spray with cooking spray and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for about 8-9 minutes – depending on size.
Meanwhile, pour boiling water over the broccoli florets and add a little salt. Leave them to stand for a couple of minutes, then drain them on a tea towel.
To serve
Arrange the salmon pieces on a bed of cooked rice. Scatter the broccoli florets and cucumber over the top and drizzle with the rest of the marinade, chilli mayo and chilli oil, if using.
Sprinkle with spring onions and, if you like, fresh herbs such as (Thai) basil or microgreens.
