The Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven fan 180 degrees.

Mix the soy and honey together in a small bowl and cover the salmon in it, leave to marinade for 10 mins (If you have longer, leave it for a couple hours or over night.)

Step 2

Finely chop the chilli, ginger and garlic.

Mix all the ingredients for the sauce for the greens in a bowl.

Step 3

Place the salmon on a baking tray skin side down and place in the oven for 8-12 minutes. Cooking tie will depend on the size of your fillet and also how you like your salmon cooked. I would always go 8 minutes as I like my salmon pink in the middle - all personal preference here.

Step 4

Add a little oil to a hot pan and add the chilli, garlic and ginger, allow to sautee for a couple mins.

Cut your asparagus, broccoli and sugar snaps into equal sized chunks, around 5cm, add these to the pan with the spring greens/kale. Sauté for around 5 mins until start to soften.

Once they have started to soften add the pak choi, spinach, edamame and the sauce and cook for anther couple mins, stirring well to ensure an even coating of the sauce.

(This step is all obviously dependant on what green veg you chose to use, but be mindful of cooking times. Pak choi and spinach need little cooking, whereas broccoli, for example, takes around 5 mins to soften. )

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the oven and place on top of a couple of spoons of the veg. Top with roasted peanuts, fresh chillis, sliced spring onion, sesame seeds, crispy onions and a squeeze of lime. (All optional)
