Try this Korean style dish: Gochujang salmon and broccoli.

Ingredients:

Two skin-on salmon fillets.

For the marinade: 1 1/2 tbsp Gochujang paste.

(Gochujang paste, or Korean red chilli bean paste, is a traditional condiment used to bring rich spiciness to meals.)

• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp white wine or rice vinegar
• 3 cloves crushed garlic
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• Sesame seeds

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Use half the marinade to coat salmon fillets. Leave for at least 1 hour. Keep the remainder to brush on fillets after cooking.

For the broccoli stir-fry:

• 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
• One-quarter white cabbage thinly shredded
• 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
• 1 carrot thinly sliced
• Handful of spinach leaves

For the sauce:

• 1 inch ginger grated
• 4 cloves garlic crushed
• 1 tsp sriracha powder
• 4 spring onions
• 1 tbsp Gochujang paste
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tsp white wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp sesame oil or vegetable oil for frying

Method:

The salmon can be cooked in a preheated oven at 200°c for 10 - 12 minutes (400f) or in an air fryer at 190 for 8 - 10 minutes depending on size of fillets and how pink you like your fish.

Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and mix very well.

In a hot wok, heat the oil and add the veggies, cook for five minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the sauce and stir fry for another three minutes.

Place broccoli mix into a bowl, place the salmon on top, and dress with remaining marinade, finish off with a good sprinkling of sesame seeds, serve at once.

Enjoy!
