Instructions
Method:
- Cut salmon pieces into 5cm square chunks. Place in a bowl and add the sesame oil, soy sauce, kecap manis and fish sauce. Stir well to combine and set aside to marinate for at least 10 mins while you make the salad.
- In a medium bowl add the cucumber, edamame beans, Spanish onion, mint and coriander. For the dressing, mix together the fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice and brown sugar. Drizzle this over the cucumber salad.
- Preheat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the pan and let it heat for 30 seconds. Add the marinated salmon pieces and cook each side for approx. 3 -4 minutes (or to your liking). Once cooked, turn off the heat and top with sesame seeds. Keep the pan juices.
