Soy-glazed Salmon with Pak Choi & Sweet Red Peppers

For my main course of our valentine dinner, i decided to make something simple, and salmon is very easy to cook and complimented with pak choi and sweet red peppers.
















Ingredients:

50ml Light Soy sauce
2Tbspn soft brown sugar
1 Garlic clove, crushed, and roughly chopped
1/2 tspn Sesame oil
a dash of white wine

2 Salmon Fillets, descaled if not so
2 Pak Choi, halved
1/2 Sweet Red Pepper
1 Lemon (optional)
2 Spring onions, finely chopped
1Tbspn Sesame seeds, toasted

White rice (i use fragrant rice)

Method:

1) Put the soy sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat and stir well until the sugar dissolves. Add the garlic and sesame oil, remove from the heat and cool. Cover the Salmon fillet with the marinade for at least 30mins- 1hr at best
2)On a griddle pan, medium-high heat grill the salmon fillet skin down for 2 or 3 mins, then turnover for another 2mins. Dash it with a little white wine.  Keep basting constantly with the marinade, until charred and sticky on the outside. Once cooked as desired, serve on plate
3)Grill the pak choi on cut-side down for 2/3mins, throw in the sweet red peppers then add a little water so can make a thin sauce.Serve on plate, and scatter with some spring onion and sesame seeds.
4) Serve with some white rice.

Happy Cooking!
