Pan Seared Salmon with Honey and Chilli
This is a tasty salmon dish filled with lots of Asian flavours. The salmon remains lovely and moist as you finish off the cooking in the oven. You can alter the heat of the dish by adding more chilli or if you prefer, you can omit the chilli altogether if you are not a fan.

- 800gm salmon, evenly sliced into fillets (approx. 4-5 pieces)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- ½ tsp fish sauce
- 1tsp sesame seeds
- ¼ tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients except salmon, sesame seeds and cooking oil, in a jug and let stand. If possible make ahead of time, as this will allow the flavours to better infuse.

- Place pan in pre-heated oven @ 200℃ for 7 minutes. If you prefer your salmon pink in the middle cook for approximate 4-5 minutes.
