Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 serving(s)
Ingredients: 2 ½ cups (625 ml) water; 1 cup (180 g) fine bulgur; 1 lime, zest finely grated and juiced; 1 tbsp (15 ml) sesame oil; ¾ lb (340 g) asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 ½-inch (4 cm) pieces on an angle; 2 tbsp (30 ml) maple syrup; 2 tbsp (30 ml) low-sodium soy sauce; 1 tsp (5 ml) fish sauce; ½ tsp (2.5 ml) sambal oelek; 1 lb (450 g) salmon fillet without skin, cut into 4 pieces; 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil; Toasted sesame seeds, to taste

Preparation

Bulgur
- In a pot, bring 1 ½ cups (375 ml) of the water to a boil. Add the bulgur. Season with salt and pepper. Cover. Remove from the heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Fluff the grains with a fork. Add the lime zest, lime juice and sesame oil. Mix well. Adjust the seasoning.
- Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet, bring the remaining water to a boil. Season with salt. Add the asparagus and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse quickly under cold water. Drain and add to the bulgur. Set aside.
Salmon
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, fish sauce and sambal.
- In the same skillet used to cook the asparagus, over medium-high heat, cook the fish in the oil, flat-side up, for 2 minutes. Add the soy mixture to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes. Flip the fish over and cook for 2 minutes or until the desired doneness, spooning the sauce over the fish as it cooks. Set the fish aside on a plate. Let the sauce reduce until thick and syrupy.
- Divide the bulgur mixture among four plates. Top with the salmon and cover with the glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
