Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Combine the lemon juice, sesame oil and Chinese five-spice in a bowl, mixing well, then thoroughly coat the salmon steaks.

Step 2

Put the salmon steaks on a plate and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Once well coated, place the salmon on a baking sheet, lightly oiled with 1 tsp sunflower oil. Sprinkle any remaining seeds on top of the fish and bake in the oven for 12–15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, boil the beans for 3–4 minutes, then plunge into cold water to cool.

Step 4

Mix the beans, tomatoes, onion and lettuce together, and divide between two plates. Flake the salmon on top and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar.

Recipe tips

This recipe works well with mackerel fillets or fresh tuna steaks, too.
When in season, asparagus can be used instead of green beans.
Plunging the fine green beans into cool water stops the cooking process.
