Ingredients

4 salmon steaks, at least 1-in. thick
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
Topping of pickled ginger
2 to 4 cups chicken broth, or bouillon
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1 tbsp dark sesame oil
1 tbsp soy or teriyaki sauce
1 tsp bottled minced ginger
1 tsp bottled minced garlic
3 cups 5-minute rice, or 2 cups converted long-grain rice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450F (230C). Place salmon on an oiled baking sheet. Spread with hoisin. Place in centre of 450F (230C) oven. Roast 1-inch- (2.5-cm-) thick steaks for 10 minutes and 1 1/2-inch- (3.5-cm-) thick steaks for 15 minutes. Serve with pickled ginger.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring 2 cups (500 mL) broth to a boil if using 5-minute rice or 4 cups (1 L) broth if using long-grain rice. Add vegetables, sesame oil, soy, ginger and garlic. Bring back to a boil. Stir in rice. If using 5-minute rice, turn heat off but leave on element, cover and let stand 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. For long-grain rice, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, from 22 to 25 minutes.
