Method

  1. 1

    Make the orange glaze: whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, ground ginger, and chili flakes.

  2. 2

    Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium‑high heat and sear the salmon for about 2 minutes per side until golden.

  3. 3

    Spoon orange glaze over salmon fillets in a skillet and baste the salmon with the orange glaze, allowing it to simmer and thicken into a glossy glaze until the fish is cooked through; sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  4. 4

    Use a vegetable peeler to shave the carrots and cucumber into thin ribbons.

  5. 5

    Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, sesame seeds, sugar, salt, and chopped green onion to make the salad dressing.

  6. 6

    Toss the vegetable ribbons with the dressing until evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Plate the glazed salmon alongside the ribbon salad and steamed rice, drizzling any remaining glaze over the salmon.

Tips while you cook
