serves 2-4
1 1/2 pounds raw salmon
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
1-2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
4 green onions, sliced
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl or baking dish, combine olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, vinegar, brown sugar and whisk well until combined. Add salmon to the dish or place everything in a ziplock bag, then refrigerate and marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the broiler in your oven. (Or preheat your grill, etc if you prefer to use something else.)
Remove salmon with kitchen tongs and place directly on the wire rack. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper, then place directly under the broiler. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on the salmon’s thickness (our’s was just about an inch thick), until opaque and easily flakable with a fork. You can flip the salmon halfway through cooking if desired.
Remove and serve immediately, with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds, green onions and the glaze below.
Sesame Ginger Honey Glaze
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour over salmon.

Teriyaki Tofu
I cheated a little on this and used a store bought sauce, but it’s simple enough to make one yourself. One thing I totally didn’t see coming out of this was a great finger-food; these little tofu bites are so so moreish. I even had my most meat-loving housemate raiding the fridge for the leftovers they were that good! :D
Ingredients: tofu, teriyaki sauce, vegetables (I used broccoli, carrots, a courgette and some garlic), soy sauce, corn flour, noodles, spring onions, sesame seeds.
Slice and drain the tofu, then place in a pan, cover with about half the sauce, and simmer on a low heat for about 15 minutes, turning once. Remove the tofu and keep any sauce left.
Fry the tofu in a wok until crispy on both sides, then remove. Add the vegetables and fry on a high heat for a few minutes with some soy sauce to add flavour. Move the vegetables to the back of the wok, then add the remaining teriyaki sauce and mix with water and cornflour at the front of the wok until you have the amount and thickness that you want. Mix the vegetables into the sauce and simmer gently for a few minutes until everything’s tender.
Serve the tofu and vegetables with rice or noodles and top with a load of spring onions and sesame seeds (pan fried taste better, but I was too hungry to wait!).
