Quick Asian Sauce for Salmon
This is a sauce for salmon that is also a very quick way to cook salmon fillets whilst at the same time giving them a bit of pep.
Serve with instant pak choi, and fried rice.
For another slightly Asian approach to salmon, which also makes a good starter, follow this link to Clement Freud’s Spicy Fillets of Salmon in Ginger.
