Step 2

Pour the miso sauce over the salmon fillet and let it marinate for around 30 minutes.

Step 3

Next, while the salmon is marinating, make the sesame sauce for the broccoli. First, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat in a pan (no oil needed) for a few minutes until slightly golden. Then, remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the mirin, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, sweet soy sauce, garlic powder and vegetable oil. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the toasted sesame seeds to a pestle and mortar, then add the while peppercorns and grind to a powder.

Next, cook the rice as per packet instructions, and cook the salmon and broccoli whilst the rice is cooking: cut the broccoli into bite size pieces and cook for around 5 minutes, until still a bit tender. To cook the salmon, heat a griddle pan, then once hot, cook the salmon fillet for a few minutes on each side.
