1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of ½ a lemon
To serve
¼ cup chopped coriander leaves and stalks
½ a lemon, cut into wedges
Preheat oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Bring a full kettle to the boil.
Start by cooking the rice to go with the meal. While rice is cooking prepare vegetables; finely dice broccoli florets and about half the stalk; roughly chop spinach leaves. Set both aside.
Pat salmon dry, remove any remaining pin-bones and arrange on prepared tray, skin side down. In a small bowl, mix sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice together and spoon over salmon. Roast for 7–8 minutes or until just cooked through, depending on thickness (salmon is best served medium-rare).
Place broccoli and peas in a medium, heat-proof bowl. Pour over boiling water and set aside for 4–5 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and add to steamed rice, along with spinach and sesame oil. Fluff up with a fork until spinach has wilted slightly. Season to taste.
