Ingredients

1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
4 salmon fillets, about 4 oz each
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
8 oz shiitake mushrooms, halved
2 bok choy, quartered lengthwise
4 scallions, shredded
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
basmati or long-grain rice, to serve

Steps

On a plate, mix the sesame seeds with the red pepper flakes. Coat the salmon fillets by pressing them into this mixture.
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat half the oil. Add the salmon and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Take it out and keep warm.
Heat the rest of the oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until just cooked. Drizzle soy sauce over the vegetables, then serve them with the salmon and basmati rice.
