Ingredients for the salmon

2 skinless salmon fillets

1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp mirin

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp finely grated ginger

For the Bak choi

1 cup bak choi

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 tbsp Japanese soy sauce

3 tbsp lime juice fresh

1 tbsp honey

2 cloves garlic grated

1 tbsp chili finely chopped olive oil

Directions

Heat oven to 250F and put 2 skinless salmon filets in a shallow baking dish.

Mix 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp mirin or dry sherry, 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tsp finely grated ginger in a small bowl and pour over the salmon so the filets are completely covered. Bake for 10 mins.

Meanwhile, cook the bak choi. Cut a slice across the base of 2 large bak choi so the leaves separate.

Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil and 2 tsp sesame oil in a wok, add 3 grated garlic cloves and stir-fry briefly to soften.

Add the bak choi and fry until the leaves start to wilt. You’re aiming for the stems to be tender but still have a bit of a bite.

Serve the bak choi on a plate, top with the salmon and spoon over the juices. Scatter with 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds and serve. Enjoy!
