Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic and ginger paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and all water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

Trim green beans and cut in half. Roughly chop Asian greens. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and rice wine vinegar. Set aside. Pat salmon dry with paper towel. Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until an even thickness, about 1cm-thick. Little Chefs: Kids can take charge by combining the mayonnaise and rice wine vinegar!

In a shallow bowl, combine Thai stir-fry spice and the salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine mixed sesame seeds and panko breadcrumbs. Dip the salmon into spice mixture, then into egg, and finally in sesame crumb mixture. Transfer to a plate. Little Chefs: Kids can help crumb the salmon! Use one hand for the wet ingredients and the other for the dry ingredients so you don't end up with sticky fingers.

Heat pan as above. When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side.

Wash out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir-fry green beans until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, then remove pan from heat.

Divide garlic-ginger rice between plates. Top with veggie stir-fry and sesame-crusted salmon. Serve drizzled with the mayo dressing. Enjoy! Little Chefs: Kids can add the finishing touch by drizzling over the mayo dressing!
