Ingredients:

- 1 tbsp mirin or dry sherry
- 2 skinless salmon fillets
- 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 2 tsp finely grated ginger
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

For the Pak Choi:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 75 ml vegetable or fish stock
- 2 large pak choi
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds.

Cooking Procedure:
- First heat up your oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a shallow baking dish, place the 2 skinless salmon fillets.
- In a small bowl, mix in the chili sauce, honey, mirin or dry sherry, sesame oil, ginger, and soy sauce. Pour the mixture on to the salmon fillets and make sure they are completely covered. Bake it in the oven for 10 minutes.
- While the fish is cooking, you can get started with the pak choi. Cut a slice across the base of the pak choi so that the leaves are left separated from the stock. Heat up the vegetable oil and put in the sesame oil and garlic cloves. Mix until it becomes fragrant
- Add the pak choi and fry the leaves until you see that the leaves are wilting. Pour in the vegetable stock or fish stock then cover the pan. Let it cook for 5 minutes so the stems become tender and easy to eat.
- Serve the pak choi with the fish on top of it and scatter the sesame seeds as well. You can serve this dish with noodles or rice.
