COOK’S TIP

If you prefer a less spicy dish, omit the chilli and fish sauce and add a pinch of sugar to the marinade instead. 

Serves 4

For the spicy marinade

• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1cm piece of ginger, grated
• A small handful of fresh coriander, plus extra to garnish
• A small handful of mint leaves
• 1 red chilli, deseeded and roughly chopped
• 1tbsp fish sauce
• Juice of 2 limes, plus 2 extra limes, quartered

For the salmon

• 4 salmon fillets
• 4 pak choi, halved
• 3tbsp light soy sauce
• 1tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 4-5 spring onions, thinly sliced
• 1 red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced

For the marinade, put the garlic, ginger, coriander, mint, chilli, fish sauce and lime juice into a food processor and whizz to a coarse paste. Spread over the salmon, making sure they are covered. Leave to marinate for 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Arrange the salmon and pak choi in a large roasting tin. Drizzle with the soy sauce and sesame oil. 

Scatter with half the spring onions and half the chilli, and roast for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through to your liking. Just before serving, scatter with the remaining spring onion and chilli, the extra coriander and the lime quarters.
