Pan Fried Salmon, Sweet and Spicy Green Chili Soy Glaze with Sautéed Garlic Asian Vegetables

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 4 6oz fillets of salmon, skin on

For the glaze

  • 6 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp mirin
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 green Korean chili (or jalapeño), finely chopped (for not spicy, remove seeds)
  • 1-inch knob ginger, roughly chopped
  • 3 large cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 shallot, roughly chopped
  • 2 Tbsp honey

For the sautéed vegetables

  • 2 large garlic cloves, grated
  • 8 heads baby bok choy, washed and trimmed
  • 12 shiitake mushrooms, destemmed, thinly sliced

Garnish (optional)

  • Dried julienne seaweed flakes (kizami nori)
  • Red/green chilies, thinly sliced
  • Parsley leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Rinse the salmon fillets, remove any pin bones, and pat dry well, set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, tip in the soy sauce, mirin, lemon juice, over medium heat. Add in garlic, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and shallot. Allow to simmer and add in the honey. Whisk until well incorporated and lower flame to a low simmer.
  3. Meanwhile, sauteed the vegetables. In a large nonstick skillet, drizzle in a bit of extra virgin olive oil, over medium high heat. Tip in the grated garlic and allow to soften slightly. Add in the bok choy and mushrooms and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside in warm place.
  4. Place a large nonstick skillet, over medium high heat, and drizzle in about 2 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Once hot, place in the fish fillets, skin side down, and fry until the skin is golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Flip over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes (depending on thickness, and desired doneness). Flesh should be flaky and skin crisp and golden when done.
  5. Remove the soy glaze from the heat and pour through a fine sieve discarding the solids. Keep the glaze warm.
  6. To serve, place a scoop of the rice of your choice on a plate. Top with the sauteed vegetables and then the fish. Spoon over the soy glaze and serve. Garnish with dried seaweed, parsley leaves, and sliced red and green chilis, if you like. Serve immediately.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageAd. An authentic Korean meal is never complete without banchan: the colorful side dishes that bring every feast to life. 🇰🇷✨

The Korean table is usually laid edge to edge with these small little plates…and, if you’re out to impress, the more the better! @ocadouk’s Korean aisle makes it so easy for you to get all the ingredients you need for your banchan, delivered straight to your door.

The key is balance and the “rule of five”: every meal should have a mix of five flavours, textures, and colours.

Here are some of the most common banchan you’ll find:
🥬 Kimchi — the must-have
🍚 Steamed short-grain rice
🍲 Soup (a staple of any Korean table)
🍳 Gyeran-jjim (fluffy egg souffle)
🌿 Fresh salads — scallion salad, green salad, crudités with ssamjang
🥒 Pickled veggies — radish, cucumber, lotus root & more
🥔 Korean potato salad (yes… it’s a thing!)
🐟 Grilled fish — croaker or mackerel are classics
🥞 Jeon — savoury pancakes
🥬 Seasoned vegetables — spinach, bean sprouts, etc.
🍖 Braised meats — soy-braised beef, and more
🐠 Dried fish & seafood

And if you’re eating barbecue, you’ll also find lettuce leaves (ssam) for wrapping and our barbecue sauce, ssamjang on the table.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageAd. Crispy, cheesy, and a little bit sweet…this is Korean Street Toast, the ultimate breakfast of champions. 🍞✨

@ocadouk just launched a Korean aisle featuring some of my go-to ingredients, so I had to share this quick and comforting classic. 🇰🇷

A favourite grab-and-go breakfast in Korea since the 1980s, Korean Street Toast (gilgeori toast) began as a street-cart staple for students and commuters rushing to school or work. Cheap, fast, nourishing, and satisfying & still a nostalgic comfort food today, with long lines at Seoul cafés serving their own versions. 💛

Fluffy omelet, melted cheese, deli meats, and buttery milk bread & finished with a sprinkle of sugar to balance the savoury flavours. It sounds unusual, but that touch of sweetness is what makes it unforgettable.

My secret weapon? Kewpie mayo, Japan’s iconic rich, tangy, and slightly sweet mayonnaise, and you can now find it on Ocado! Spread it on one slice, add ketchup on the other, and you’ve got the ultimate breakfast of champions.

Quick to make, easy to love, and impossible to forget. 💛

60g packaged coleslaw mix or 40g white cabbage, thinly sliced and 20g carrot, peeled and julienned
2 spring onions, julienned
1 tbsp chopped parsley
½ tsp sea or kosher salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
3 tbsp salted butter, plus extra as needed
2 slices of white bread
1 tsp granulated sugar
1–2 slices mild Cheddar
2–4 slices cured ham
2–4 slices salami

To Serve
1–2 tbsp ketchup
1–2 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise

✨ Full recipe in my book K-Quick (which you can also find on Ocado!)
