Salmon in Oyster Sauce

"Oyster sauce is a weird and wonderful thing that makes boring food suddenly taste fantastic. Simple green vegetables, boring broccoli and beans, get a sudden oomph when drizzled over with a bit of that pungent salty gunk, and a spoonful of sesame oil. That usually happens when I can’t be bothered to produce any fancy sides to go with pork chops or chicken - zinging up my dinner with a nod to oriental flavours. The oyster sauce doesn’t perform a miracle in this recipe but it does go well with the oily fish, especially combined with the sweetness from the brown sugar. Sweet and salty – what do you know? It’s what umami is about!"
