Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • In a large saucepan, heat the butter and a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, slice baby broccoli in half lengthways. Roughly chop Asian greens.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook baby broccoli with a dash of water, tossing, until starting to soften, 3-4 minutes. • Add Asian greens and ginger paste and cook until tender and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir through the soy sauce and Japanese dressing until warmed, 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl.
• While the veggies are cooking, combine mild laksa seasoning, mixed sesame seeds and the salt in a shallow bowl. • Pat Akaroa salmon dry with paper towel, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Press salmon into sesame mixture and turn to coat on both sides. TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
• Return the frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
• Thinly slice spring onion. • Stir spring onion through rice. Divide garlic spring onion rice between bowls. • Top with ginger-soy veggies and Asian sesame-crusted salmon. • Garnish with roasted peanut & cashew mix to serve. Enjoy!
