Method
- Slice the root ginger into matchsticks. Thinly slice the lemon. Cut 4 23cm (9in) square pieces of greaseproof paper; place a few lemon slices in the centre of each sheet. Top with a salmon fillet; scatter on some ginger.
- Fold the greaseproof paper over the salmon. Pinch the edges together to make a parcel. Place on a large baking sheet. Make 4 parcels in all. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F, gas mark 4), for 20-25 mins until the salmon is just cooked. Finely shred the mangetout and pare the carrots into thin strips.
- Heat the sesame oil in a wok. Stir-fry the mangetout, carrots and beansprouts for 3-4 mins. Put the salmon on serving plates and pile the stir-fried veg on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Heat the soy sauce and honey in the wok; pour over the salmon and vegetables.
