The Method

STEP 1

Lightly coat the salmon with oyster sauce and cover with the sesame seeds. In a medium – hot frying pan, fry the sesame salmon until just cooked. Be careful not to overcook.

STEP 2

For the salsa, cut the mango, strawberries, cucumber and carrot into very small cubes. Add the sugar, salt, lime juice and zest and the rice vinegar and let it macerate
