Method
Rice. Start the rice cooking.
Pickle. Whisk together the sesame oil, vinegar and sugar. Add the copped veg. Set aside to pickle.
Salmon. Mix the marinade ingredients together and add the salmon. I don't add salt until cooking the salmon, so I can better judge how much I'm adding.
Veg. Dice up the veg as described in the ingredients, then set aside in a bowl.
Teriyaki sauce. In a small pan on low heat, warm the ingredients until thickened.
Salmon. Set a frying pan on hot. Add sunflower oil, salmon, salt and pepper. Fry the salmon for a few min, then flip and fry for a few min more.
Assemble. Pile the rice on the plate, then teriyaki, then veg, then teriyaki, then salmon. Serve the pickle on the side.
