I want to serve well-seasoned stewed dishes to my family that'll go well with a bowl of white rice. But I also want to cut down on the amount of salt used. So the sesame oil and ground sesame seeds adds flavor even with a light seasoning.

The burdock should be slightly firm after cooking. If you prefer the burdock to be softened more, cook for a little longer at Step 4. To avoid the salmon from flaking while cooking, shake the pan at Step 6 or use a spatula to mix briefly to blend with the seasoning ingredients. Recipe by caramel-cookie
