Sesame-Crusted Salmon with Fragrant Coriander

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This quick Asian-inspired dish comes together in just over half an hour—you're stir-frying vegetables with aromatic sauces while the rice cooks, then searing salmon chunks and rolling them in sesame seeds for a satisfying crust. The tricky part is balancing the salty sauces (soy, oyster, and fish sauce) to your taste, but keeping everything moving means the vegetables stay crunchy and the whole meal feels fresh and exotic.

Add the sauces

Pour in the sauces - soy, oyster and fish sauce. Add a little of each, going easy on the oyster and fish sauce at first as they're very salty. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
