This Asian/Mexican fusion dish is ready in minutes—perfect when time is tight! If the salmon begins to stick, add 2-3 tablespoons of water and continue cooking. —Marisa Raponi, Vaughan, Ontario


Test Kitchen tips
  • Look for thick center pieces of salmon so your cubes will be consistently sized for even cooking.
  • Hoisin sauce is used as both a sauce and condiment in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking. Its flavor is distinctive in two Chinese classics: char siu and moo shu pork.
  • The flavor of hoisin sauce varies quite a bit between brands, so feel free to adjust the amount used.
  • Black sesame seeds have a slightly nuttier flavor than white ones. If you don't have them, use toasted white sesame seeds instead.
