honey soy salmon

Honey soy salmon with carrot & swede mash
2 x 130gram pieces of salmon fillet (skin optional) 1 bunch broccolini or bok choy, washed 2 medium swedes, cubed (or potatoes if you can’t find swede) 3 carrots, chopped Butter Milk Cracked pepper 10 tablespoons kikkoman soy sauce* 4 tablespoons honey Shallots, diced 1 teaspoon olive oil
Note: while the mash can be made ahead of the other parts of the meal, the fish, sauce and vegetables more or less have to be cooked at the same time to ensure they all stay warm when served, so good luck with the multitasking!
Boil carrot and swede in a pot until soft, remove to bowl and mash. Add butter, milk and cracked pepper to taste. Leave aside. Add soy sauce to a small saucepan. Bring to boil. Once boiling, add honey and stir until dissolved. Taste to ensure it’s not too sweet or salty, just right. Heat olive oil in pan. When hot, add salmon pieces. Pan fry on medium heat for 4 minutes, turning once midway. This cooks the fish medium, so cook for longer to achieve well done. Bring a pot of water to boil and add broccolini. Boil until soft but crunchy. Drain. On serving plates, spoon mash onto one side of the plate, and arrange broccolini on the other. Place fish on top of the mash, and drizzle with honey soy sauce. Finish with chopped shallots.
