    1 Place pak choy or spinach leaves in a colander. Pour over boiling water until just softened.

    2 Place ginger and spring onions atop each salmon fillet. Wrap each fillet in wilted pak choy or spinach leaf.

    3 Place salmon bundles in a steamer (bamboo steamers are traditionally used for this type of dish but any will work).

    4 Fill a pan with boiling water ready to place steamer on top. Ensure steamer is a snug fit on top of pan. Cover with a lid. Steam for 10-15 minutes.

    5 The fish is done when it is a pale pink colour and it flakes easily when broken with a fork.

    6 Place dressing ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil. Serve with salmon and steamed rice or noodles.

    Variations

    • Make it gluten free: Use a gluten-free soy sauce, or tamari.
    • This recipe can be made with a firm white fish. You can also add finely shredded lemongrass to the spring onions.
