Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon olive oil, plus
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup millet
1/2 lb boneless skinless salmon fillet
1 teaspoon soy sauce, plus
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups snow peas, trimmed
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup scallion, finely chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Meanwhile, coat bottom of a large saute pan with 1 teaspoons of the olive oil. Add millet and cook, stirring, over medium low heat until it gives off a toasted aroma, about 10 minutes. Add boiling hot water. Cover and cook over medium low heat until water is absorbed and millet is tender, about 25 minutes. Uncover and cool.
  • Meanwhile, coat salmon with 1 teaspoons of the soy sauce. Heat a large skillet over high heat. When hot, add fillets, reduce heat to medium and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn over and cook until the salmon is cooked through, 3-5 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Cool in pan. Break into 1" pieces.
  • Heat a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add snow peas and cook 1 minute. Drain, rinse, and blot dry.
  • In a large bowl, whisk vinegar, 2 tbsp water, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and remaining olive oil and soy sauce. Reserve 1 tbsp of the mixture. Toss millet with the dressing. In a small bowl, toss scallions, pepper, snow peas, and reserved dressing. Add half the vegetables and the salmon to the millet.
  • Spoon millet salad onto a platter. Top with remaining vegetables. Serve and enjoy!
