Method
Teriyaki Glaze:
For the Teriyaki Glaze, start by blackening the carrot, brown onion, garlic cloves, celery and ginger either over a bbq or in a griddle pan.
Place the vegetables in a medium-sized pot and pour over the soy, mirin and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to the boil and cookout for about half an hour or until the liquid has reduced to a glaze.
If you go too far, just add some water to bring it back to the right consistency. Strain off the veggies and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.
Soy and Mirin Dressing:
For the Soy and Mirin Dressing, place everything into a blender and blend until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Place the salmon in a large roasting tray skin side down. Using a pastry brush, glaze the fish and place in the oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes, glazing 5 times throughout the cooking process.
Asian Salad:
Meanwhile, for the Asian Salad, place all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl and dress with the Soy and Mirin Dressing and a touch of salt. Top the fish with the Asian salad and sprinkle over some toasted sesame seeds.
