How to prepare sesame salmon with ginger vinaigrette salad
- Cut the salmon into cubes and mix with soy sauce and sesame seeds. If the soy sauce is low sodium, you can also sprinkle a little salt. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 8-10 minutes (top-bottom heat; if you have an extra browning program, use it).
- For the vinaigrette, blend all ingredients (I grated the ginger) in a small food processor or with an immersion blender.
- Blanch the soy pods in salted water according to package instructions. Quickly run under cold water to cool them, then remove the beans from the pods. Sprinkle the beans with a little salt.
- Cut the cabbage into thin strips and place in a wide bowl. Grate the carrot directly over the cabbage. Sprinkle with a little salt and knead until the cabbage loses volume and softens a bit. Pour 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette and mix well. Taste for salt.
- Add the green onions and soy beans to the bowl and pour another 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette on top. Mix only lightly and then transfer the salad to the serving bowl. Arrange the baked salmon cubes alongside.
