Salmon Crusted Chia Seeds with Asian greens and Tamari Dressing

chia-crusted-salmon

3 tbsp  white chia seeds
3 tbsp black chia seeds
Four  skinless salmon fillets
2 bunches choy sum washed and trimmed
3 tbsp sunflower oil, divided
1 1/4-inch (3-cm) piece ginger, peeled and julienned
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Rice/ SobaNoodles or steamed brown rice

 

Tamari dressing:
3 tbsp (50 mL) oyster sauce
3 tbsp (50 mL) tamari
1 1/2 tbsp (22 mL) Chinese rice wine
1 tsp (5 mL) sugar

 

1.  Combine the white and black chia seeds on a plate. Press each salmon fillet in the chia seeds to evenly coat one side, then set aside. Remove the stems from the choy sum.

 

2.  Cut choy stems in half if long and reserve. To make the tamari dressing, put the oyster sauce, tamari, rice wine and sugar in a small bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar.

 

3. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Cook the salmon, chia side down, for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Turn and cook for a further 2 minutes.

 

4. Set cooked salmon aside on a warmed plate and keep warm. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

 

5.  Add the choy sum stems and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, then add the choy sum leaves and stir-fry for 1 minute more or until almost wilted. Add half the dressing and toss to combine.

 

6. To serve, divide the choy sum among serving plates, top each with a piece of salmon and drizzle over a little of the remaining dressing. Serve with noodles or steamed rice.
