Responsibly-sourced hot-smoked salmon is the star of the show: you'll coat it in an orange & miso marinade for the perfect blend of flavours. Dish it up alongside fluffy quinoa, tenderstem broccoli and sugar snaps - pan-steamed and flavoured with fragrant ginger & garlic. Finish with bright pickled radish, for a pop of colour, and a sprinkle of furikake.

Cook the quinoa & pickle the radish

  • Transfer the salmon to a plate. Spoon over half the orange miso dressing

Steam the greens
