A speedy 15 minute healthy meal. For this recipe I decided to cook the salmon rare, but in the method I’ve given you another option if that’s not for you. I’ve served it with a delicious pickled cucumber using @sarsons new quick pickling vinegar which worked brilliantly with the oily fish.

INGREDIENTS
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2 Salmon Fillets
3/4 cucumber
3 tablespoons 15 minute pickling vinegar @sarsonsuk
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Optional herbs to serve - I used dill
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dressing
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1 clove garlic crushed
2 teaspoons grated ginger
Juice of 1 lime or 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce

METHOD
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shave the cucumber into long ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Place on kitchen towel to absorb the water then into a bowl with the vinegar and season generously. Leave for 15 minutes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Place the seasoned salmon skin side down in a hot pan with a little oil. Cook for 5 minutes or until the skin is golden and crisp. Turn the salmon over and cook for another 3 minutes. Now turn the heat off and let the salmon sit in the pan for 10 minutes. The residual heat will cook the salmon through.⠀
If you want to try slightly pink salmon, then skip the last stage and remove from the pan immediately.

Drain the cucumber slightly and onto the serving plate alongside the salmon. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
