Method
- To make the Teryaki sauce, mix together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger and garlic in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it has developed a thicker consistency. Remove the garlic and ginger by pouring the sauce through a sieve or strainer.
- When the sauce is cool, coat the salmon thoroughly and set aside to marinate for an hour, or as long as possible.
- Preheat the grill. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, season the salmon with salt and pepper and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- Cook the broccoli in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
- Sprinkle the salmon with the sesame seeds and serve immediately over the cooked rice with the lemon wedges and broccoli on the side.
Cook's tips
Teryaki sauce is a classic Japanese marinade referring to the shine or 'Teri' from the sugar content and for the grilled or 'Yaki' cooking method.
