Method

  1. Dice the salmon into small cubes (as evenly as you can manage), put in a bowl, cover with cling film and set aside over ice to keep cold or keep in the fridge (see make ahead).
  2. In a bowl, stir the honey into the lime juice, soy sauce and sesame oil until combined. Just before serving, gently mix the dressing through the salmon along with the spring onions, ginger and chilli.
  3. In a bowl, mix the crème fraîche with 2 tbsp water and the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicory leaves on serving plates and dress with the crème fraîche dressing. Garnish with coriander and serve with the tartare.
