Salmon is probably the fish we eat most often at our house. I'm always so impressed by its texture, the variety of flavours that it goes with, and its versatility. In this recipe, the salmon is marinated and then briefly pan-fried. I serve it with pak choi (which you can replace with green beans if you prefer) and steamed rice. Spice it up to suit your taste: my family doesn't like spicy food, but if you're a fan then you can simply increase the amount of spice. Despite the long list of ingredients, which suggests a complex recipe, this dish can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, allowing you to enjoy a delicious meal with minimum effort.
