Ten-minute Salmon with Spring Onions by Ken Hom OBE
This tangy Salmon with Spring Onions recipe by Ken Hom OBE really packs a delicious punch! Perfect for a Big Lunch.
Sea bass or plaice fillets can be substituted. Tip: Peeled fresh root ginger can be stored in a glass jar, covered in rice wine or sherry, and sealed. It will keep for several months, and has the added benefit of producing a flavoured wine that can be used in cooking.
