Salmon Teriyaki With a Sesame Pak Choi is a healthy and delicious Japanese dish that is popular all over the world. The dish is made by marinating salmon fillets in soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and maple syrup, and then pan-frying them until they are crispy and golden brown. The sesame pak choi is added as a side dish, bringing a subtle nutty flavor to the meal. The brown rice acts as a good source of fiber and pairs well with the salmon teriyaki, making this dish a healthy and satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.Rinse the brown rice in a strainer and add it to a large pot on medium heat. Add 400 ml of water and a pinch of Himalayan salt to the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 30 minutes.
2.Remove the rice from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then, fluff it with a fork and set it aside.
3.Wash the pak choi thoroughly and chop off the ends. Separate the leaves and set them aside.
4.In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, maple syrup, and cornflour until well combined.
5.Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets and season them with salt and pepper. Cook them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6.Transfer the salmon to a plate and set it aside. In the same pan, add the red pepper, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Stir-fry them for 2-3 minutes.
7.Add the pak choi to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until slightly wilted. Pour the sauce into the pan and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes or until it thickens.
8.Serve the salmon with the sesame pak choi and brown rice. Garnish with spring onions and chili (optional).
