Ingredients

COCONUT BROWN RICE

  • 1 cup Japanese brown rice
  • 1¼ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons coconut thread
  • ½ teaspoon salt

LIME AND COCONUT SUGAR GLAZED SALMON

  • 1 tablespoon makrut lime coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon cornflour mixed with ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 300g salmon fillet, cut into 2-3 pieces

SESAME SAVOY

  • 2 teaspoons mixed sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cups shredded savoy cabbage
  • 1 baby bok choy, end trimmed and finely sliced
  • 100g mung bean sprouts

TO SERVE

  • 1 tablespoon roughly torn coriander leaves
  • ½ lime, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Combine rice, water, coconut and salt in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  3. Place all lime and coconut sugar glaze ingredients (except salmon) in a small pot and bring to the boil, stir a few times until thickened slightly, then remove from heat. Place salmon pieces, skin-side-down, on prepared tray.
  4. Season salmon with salt and pepper and spoon glaze evenly over, reserving about 1 tablespoon of glaze for serving. Bake salmon for about 8 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until just cooked through. Set aside to rest for 2 minutes.
  5. While salmon cooks, heat a large, dry fry-pan on high heat and toast sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes, stirring regularly, until slightly golden. Remove from pan and set aside. Keep pan on heat and reduce to medium-high heat.
  6. Add sesame oil and olive oil to pan to heat. Add cabbage and bok choy and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until slightly wilted but still bright green and crunchy. Add mung bean sprouts and half the sesame seeds, toss through then season with salt and pepper.
  7. spoon ¾ cup of cooked coconut brown rice per person onto each plate and top with sesame savoy and a piece of lime and coconut glazed salmon. Drizzle with reserved lime and coconut sugar glaze and garnish with coriander and remaining sesame seeds. Squeeze over lime juice just before eating.
