Ingredients

• 300g wild salmon

• 1 clove of garlic

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · sieve · spatula

1. Crush the garlic finely and stir it with the soy sauce and honey into a smooth marinade.
2. Pat the salmon dry, put it in the marinade and leave it briefly so it takes on the flavour.
3. Divide the broccoli into florets and cook in lightly salted water until tender-crisp. Then drain well.
4. Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan and fry the marinated salmon skin-side down first. Turn it over and finish cooking on the second side.
5. Add the remaining marinade to the pan and let it reduce briefly until it coats the salmon in a glossy glaze.
6. Serve the salmon with the broccoli and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
