Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into fries. • Place fries and mixed sesame seeds (see ingredients) on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While the fries are baking, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice pear. Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic, the soy sauce, honey and the white wine vinegar. Set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides. • When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. • When the salmon is almost cooked through, reduce heat to medium. Add the honey-soy glaze and simmer, stirring, until garlic is golden, 1-2 minutes. • Spoon glaze over the salmon, then remove from heat.
TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
• In a second medium bowl, combine a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season, then add mixed salad leaves, pear and cucumber. Toss to coat. • Divide honey-soy glazed salmon, sesame fries and pear salad between plates. • Spoon over any remaining glaze. Serve with mayonnaise. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The honey-soy glaze is the star of this dish — reviewers loved it on the salmon, and the pear salad was a refreshing and well-matched side.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and approachable recipe, and several first-time salmon cooks found it easy to follow with great results.
- Suggestions: Spread the fries across two trays for four people to help them crisp up rather than steam; some reviewers also found a floury potato variety works better for chips. Be mindful that the glaze can burn quickly once added to the pan, so keep the heat moderate and watch it closely.
- Next-day meals: At least one reviewer noted the salmon tasted great cold the following day, making it worth cooking a little extra if you can.
