Once hot, brush most of the marinade from the salmon and cook skin side down on the pan for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and pour the remaining teriyaki sauce into the pan and cook for 2 minutes on a low heat. Meanwhile, steam or boil the broccoli until al dente.

Served warm with softly whipped cream, this chocolate pudding is heaven. Though it is rich, it is not too heavy. Real chocolate lovers may like to serve the pudding with warm Chocolate Sauce alongside. I usually bake this pudding in one dish to serve family style, but the mixture can also be divided between eight 200 ml/7 fl oz (ยพ cup) ramekins if you would like each person to have their own individual pudding.
Note: In this recipe, you can swap the plain flour with a gluten-free flour blend to yield a nice gluten-free dessert; the texture will be slightly different but the pudding will still be rich and delicious.
Serves 6โ8
For The Pudding
150 g/5 oz dark chocolate, 62% cocoa solids, cut into small pieces
150 g/5 oz (โ cup) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
150 ml/5 fl oz (โ cup) warm water
110 g/4 oz (ยฝ cup plus 1 tablespoon) caster (superfine) sugar
4 large eggs, separated
25 g/1 oz (ยผ cup) plain flour, sifted pinch of cream of tartar (tartaric acid)
To serve
icing (confectioners) sugar, for sprinkling softly whipped cream or crรจme fraรฎche.
To make the pudding: Preheat the oven to 200ยฐC/400ยฐF/Gas Mark 6. Place a 1.5 litre/2ยฝ pint (6ยผ cup) ovenproof pie dish in a roasting tin that neatly fits it. The roasting tin should be at least 5 cm/2ยฝ inches deep.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of hot water. Stir from time to time to blend the melting chocolate and butter until smooth. Remove from the heat. Add the vanilla extract, then stir in the warm water and the caster sugar. Continue to mix until the mixture is smooth. Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the flour making sure there are no lumps.
Whisk the egg whites in a spotlessly clean bowl with a pinch of cream of tartar until it reaches soft peaks. Keep an eye on the whites as they whip to ensure they do not become too stiff and grainy. Fold one quarter of the whisked egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Gently fold the remaining egg white into the mixture until completely blended, being careful not to knock all the air out. Pour the mixture into the pie dish. Pour boiling water into the roasting tin to come halfway up the side of the dish.
Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 160ยฐC/325ยฐF/Gas Mark 3. Bake for a further 20 minutes. The pudding will be set on top but still soft and somewhat molten underneath. Remove the roasting tray and pudding from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
To serve: Lightly dust the pudding with icing sugar. The pudding can be held in a warm place for up to 1 hour. Serve warm with softly whipped cream or crรจme fraรฎche.

Sharon Hearne Smith’s Sesame Seed Porridge Bread from Today with Maura and Dรกithรญ.
Ingredients
This is an unusual bread recipe, based on porridge oats and yoghurt instead of flour and water. It is quick, easy and virtually foolproof to make.
Use any selection of seeds you prefer instead of sesame seeds, or omit them altogether for a plain bread. Alternatively, add other flavours like nuts and dried fruits or sundried tomatoes and basil or a swirl of pesto would be delicious too. This bread stays quite moist and fresh for a few days stored in an airtight container.
Makes: 1 loaf (about 12 slices)
Sunflower oil for greasing
500g tub natural yoghurt
100ml milk
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds + extra for sprinkling
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 x 500ml yoghurt tubs of porridge oats (or 400g)
butter for serving, optional
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C), 400F, Gas Mark 6. Grease a 1Lb loaf tin (approximately 3 x 5 x 7 inch) with parchment paper and grease again.
Scoop the yoghurt into a large bowl. Add the milk, oil, sesame seeds and bicarbonate of soda and mix until well blended.
Fill a clean and dry yoghurt tub with oats and tip them in. Repeat with aย second tub of oats. Alternatively, weigh out 400g of oats on a scales.
Mix everything together until well blended.
Spoon into the prepared tin, spreading the top level. Scatter a small handful of sesame seeds on top.
Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean when pierced in the middle.
Remove from the tin and return the loaf to oven, directly on the shelf, for another 5 minutes to dry out the crust.
Remove and leave to cool on a wire rack. Cut into slices and serve spread with a little butter if liked.
