How to make Spicy salmon teriyaki with steamed bok choy

1. Whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, chilli paste, and honey in a small bowl; set aside.

2. Season the salmon with 1 tsp salt. Place it on a plate and sprinkle with cornflour, turning to coat evenly.

3. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 2–3 minutes.

4. Turn the salmon and cook the other side until lightly golden, about 2 minutes.

5. Pour the sauce over the salmon and continue to cook, gently turning the salmon halfway through, until the sauce has thickened slightly and clings to the salmon, about 1 minute. (The sauce will bubble vigorously at first and then calm down.)

6. Meanwhile, place a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 2.5 cm of salted water. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil.

7. Place the bok choy in the steamer basket, cover the pot, and steam until just tender, about 5–7 minutes. Season with the remaining ½ tsp salt.

8. If using, place the rice and bok choy on a platter. Arrange the salmon on top and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the frying pan.

9. Top the dish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
