1 Heat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Put the broccoli in a large bowl, pour over a kettleful of boiling water, leave to stand for 1 min, then drain well.

2 Mix the broccolini, asparagus, sugar snaps, peas and 1tbsp sesame oil in a roasting tin. Put the salmon fillets in around the veg, then mix the soy sauce, 1/2tbsp sesame oil and honey together and spread over each fillet. Roast for 20–25 min until the salmon is cooked through.

3 Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk together the ginger, lime juice, 1tbsp sesame oil and spring onions. Once the salmon is cooked, pour the dressing over the tray. Scatter over the chopped peanuts and chilli. Taste and add more lime juice if needed. Serve hot.

Tip Blanching tenderstem before roasting improves its roasted texture, but you can use ordinary broccoli instead, if you prefer, and skip this stage.
