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.

Step 1

Rub the salmon fillets with half the salt and the pepper. Bring 600ml (1 pint) of water to a simmer in a frying pan. Add the salmon, simmer for 2–3 minutes, cover tightly and turn off the heat. Let stand for 8 minutes.

To make the sauce, combine the spring onions, ginger and remaining salt in a small bowl. In a small pan, combine the oils and heat to smoking point.

Step 3

Remove the salmon from the water and place on a plate. Scatter over the spring onion mixture, then pour over the hot oils and serve.
