Method
- Whisk 1½ tbsp oil with the lime juice, a pinch of sugar and the chopped mint and chilli. Season to taste; set aside.
- Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate. Season the salmon with black pepper, then coat in the seeds.
- Heat the remaining oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat, swirling the pan to coat. Add the salmon and fry for 1½ -2 mins on all 4 sides until the seeds are golden. Reduce the heat to low; cook for 2 mins or until the salmon is cooked through. Transfer to a warm plate, cover and leave to rest.
- Meanwhile, steam the beans, peas and mangetout for 5-6 mins until just tender. Transfer to a bowl and stir in two-thirds of the lime and mint dressing.
- Divide the pea and bean mixture between 2 plates. Top with the salmon and drizzle over the remaining dressing. Serve with the lime wedges and garnish with the extra mint leaves.
