Method

  1. 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.
  2. When the sauce is cool, coat the salmon thoroughly and set aside to marinate for an hour, or as long as possible.
  3. Preheat the grill. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
  4. Meanwhile, season the salmon with salt and pepper and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  5. Cook the broccoli in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
  6. 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.
