Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 tbs. gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tbs. mirin
- 1 tbs. sesame oil
- ½ cup crushed peanuts
- 3 tbs. sesame seeds
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut
- 600g fresh green beans
- ½ cup shallots, finely chopped
- 2 x 200g tin of Atlantic salmon
Instructions
- To make the sauce, firstly use a small pan to toast the crushed peanuts, sesame seeds and desiccated coconut. Toast them one at a time until you can start smelling their delicious aromas when your head is over the pan.
- Combine these dry ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk in the soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil. Put aside.
- In the mean time, use a large pan to steam the fresh green beans and shallots. Place the beans, shallots and ¼ cup of water in the pan and cover with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes or until just soft.
- Add in the tin of Atlantic Salmon (after getting rid of the excess water found naturally in the tin) to the beans. Mix slowly while letting it cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Take the beans, shallots and salmon off of the heat and into a large bowl. Pour over the delicious Japanese-style sauce. Serve and enjoy!
