Prep time: 15 mins

Responsibly-sourced salmon is the star of the show: you'll coat it in an orange & miso marinade, then roast until flaky. 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 shichimi togarashi.

Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, 2 small bowls & a sieve

Roast the salmon & pickle the radish

  • Place the salmon, skin-side down, onto the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 mins
  • Halve the lime. Thinly slice the radishes, then add to a small bowl with the juice from half the lime and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle

Cook the quinoa & make the miso dressing

  • Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • In the other small bowl, combine the orange miso dressing, honey, tamari, half the ginger & garlic paste, salt and pepper
  • After 15 mins, pour the dressing over the salmon and return to the oven for a further 5 mins, until the fish is cooked through

Cook the greens

  • Trim the broccoli
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the broccoli and mangetout and cook for 2-3 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add 1 tbsp water and steam for 1-2 mins, then add the remaining ginger & garlic paste and cook for a further minute

Finish & plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • When ready, stir the pickling liquid through the quinoa
  • Serve the quinoa and greens into bowls, topped with the orange miso salmon. Drizzle over any remaining sauce from the tray over the salmon
  • Top with the pickled radish and the togarashi (for those who'd like the heat). Garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
