There is so much going on in this colourful bowl – crunchy carrots, edamame beans and peppery radishes, juicy mango, fresh herbs and a sticky Asian-style glaze on the salmon. You want to cook the fish nice and gently. Don’t worry about under-doing it as you can eat salmon when it’s still a bit pink inside. Recipe adapted from Real Life Recipes by Tom Kerridge.

Ingredients
salmon 500 g
soy sauce 4 tbsp
microwave wholegrain rice 500 g
mango 200 g (diced)
fresh coriander 2 tbsp (chopped)

Method
Prep the ingredients
Cut each piece of salmon into 3 equal-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a shallow bowl and pour over the soy sauce and rice vinegar. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare your pickledveg. Thinly slice the carrot into strips and thinly slice the radishes. Pop the carrot and radishes into a heatproof bowl.
Put the white wine vinegar and caster sugar into a small saucepan over a medium-high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves then pour over the carrot and radishes. Leave to pickle for 15 minutes.
Heat up the microwave wholegrain rice and divide between warmed serving bowls. If your edamame beans are frozen, you can cook them in boiling water for 2 - 3 minutes.
Dice the mango and roughly chop the fresh coriander, then mix them together and add to the bowls.
Drain the pickles and add these too with the edamame beans.
Cook the salmon & Plate Up
Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add a splash of oil then, when it’s hot, add the salmon to the pan; reserve the marinade. Cook for 4–5 minutes, turning the pieces to cook evenly. (Don’t increase the heat or the soy and mirin coating may burn.) Divide the salmon between the serving bowls.
Place the pan back on the heat, pour in the reserved marinade and let it bubble for a minute to reduce to a sticky glaze. Spoon this over the salmon, sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds
Add the salmon to the bowls, then tuck in and enjoy!
