Method
- For the dressing, mix the wasabi paste and soy sauce in a bowl, then stir in the mirin and lime juice (you can do this a few hours in advance).
- When ready to serve, bring a pan of salted water to a gentle boil, then poach the salmon for 1 minute until it just turns opaque. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to serving plates. While the fish is still hot, spoon over the dressing, scatter over some toasted sesame seeds, chopped spring onions and the chopped and whole chives. Serve.
