Ingredients

4 pak choi
1 red pepper
1 sliced red chilli
A handful of mangetout
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
4 salmon fillets
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
The juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
A handful of fresh coriander leaves
Some toasted sesame seeds

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Cut 4 pak choi into halves (or quarters if big) and add to a roasting tin. Add 1 red pepper, cut into strips, 1 sliced red chilli and a handful of mangetout. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Place 4 salmon fillets on top and drizzle the whole lot with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce and the juice of 1 lime. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp soft brown sugar and cover with foil. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the salmon is just cooked. Remove the foil, then sprinkle with a handful of fresh coriander leaves and some toasted sesame seeds. Serve with boiled rice, if you like.
