Instructions
Cook the Rice
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear — this removes excess starch and helps it stay fluffy. Add to a small pot with cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to the lowest heat. Cook for 12 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it steam for 4 minutes (lid on). Fluff with a fork just before serving.
Mix the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and chilli flakes. Set aside — you’ll pour this over the fish in the pan.
Sear the Salmon
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat with oil. Place the fillets, skin-side down, and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes — this crisps the skin and adds structure. Flip, reduce the heat to medium, and pour in the glaze. Baste continuously as the sauce bubbles — it will thicken and coat the salmon in about 2 minutes.
Cook the Greens
- In a second pan (or the same pan wiped out), add sesame oil and bring to medium heat. Add the broccolini with 1–2 tbsp water, cover and steam-sauté for 2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Add a splash of soy and a squeeze of lemon juice to finish.
Assemble & Serve
- Spoon the fluffy rice onto plates or into containers. Add the glazed salmon and drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the top. Finish with the greens, sesame seeds, and a wedge of lime. Serve immediately or store in the fridge up to 3 days if prepping ahead.

Recipe Notes
Storage Instructions
Store portions in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Keep rice, salmon, and greens together for convenience.
For best quality, avoid freezing — the glaze and greens lose texture.
Reheating Instructions
Microwave on medium power until just warmed through.
Avoid overheating the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
Add a splash of water when reheating to revive the rice and greens.
Optional: drizzle a touch of soy or sesame oil before serving to refresh flavour.
