Serves 4
Total time ~1 hr.
Ingredients
3 tbsp. soy sauce
3 tbsp. rice vinegar, divided
2 tbsp. honey
4 (6-8 oz.) skin-on salmon filets
1 c. thinly sliced radishes
2 tsp. sugar
1-2 c. rice (depends on how much your family eats)
2 tsp. dark sesame oil
1.5 - 2 c. snow peas or snap peas
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. orange zest
1/2 c. scallions, chopped
1 tbsp. sesame seeds
Steps
Cook the rice according to the directions on the bag.
Combine soy sauce, 1 tbsp. vinegar, and honey in a bowl and whisk together. Leave half the mixture in the bowl and pour the other half into a bag. Add salmon to the bag and marinate for 15 minutes in the fridge.
Quick pickle the radishes—combine the remaining 2 tbsp. vinegar, radishes, and sugar in a bowl. Let stand for ~20 minutes and then drain.
Remove salmon from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a grill pan or skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for about 3-5 minutes per side. While the salmon is cooking, heat the sesame oil in another pan. Add the snow peas and sauté for 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and zest.
Plate rice, salmon, pickled radishes, and snow peas. Top with scallions and sesame seeds and serve.
