Prep Time: 5 min // Cook Time: 5 min Servings: 4

What to do

  1. Make the dressing by whisking together the olive oil and lemon juice to taste. Season with freshly ground pepper and sea salt. Set aside.
  2. Steam or boil the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until just tender but with a little bit.
  3. While the broccoli is cooking, toast the seeds by tipping them into a small frying pan. Add soy sauce and cook over medium heat, tossing regularly to coat all over, for about 3 minutes until the seeds are crisp and golden. Take care not to burn them or they will taste bitter.
