Step 1: You will need

  • 4 salmon cutlets or fillets
  • 1 cups (250ml) breadcrumbs (day-old bread)
  • 1 bunch of spring onions, finely chopped
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bunch of fresh asparagus, peeled and cut in half
  • 1 large red pepper, cut into strips
  • salt
  • ice cubes
  • For the dressing:
  • 170 ml fish sauce
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, root end finely chopped
  • 1 small fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 fresh limes, juiced
  • 180 g brown sugar
  • 2 trays
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 medium bowl
  • 2 large non-stick frying pans
  • 1 large dinner plate

Step 2: Mix the breadcrumbs and spring onions

Take the bowl of breadcrumbs, add the chopped spring onions and then mix the two together. Once they are combined, spread the mixture evenly onto a tray.

Step 3: Coat the salmon in breadcrumbs

Next, take the salmon cutlets or fillets and press them into the breadcrumb mixture, coating them all over. Set them to one side.

Step 4: Make the dressing

Put the fish sauce, chopped coriander, chilli, chopped spring onions, garlic, lime juice and brown sugar into a small bowl. Stir together thoroughly.

Step 5: Prepare the asparagus

Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil and have a bowl containing iced water ready. Once the water boils, add the asparagus and leave for one and a half minutes. Remove the asparagus and plunge them into the iced water.

Take them out of the water straight away using a slotted spoon and then drain them on kitchen paper.

Step 6: Heat the oil

For the fish; put 4 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick frying-pan. Place over a medium temperature and allow the oil to heat but not smoke.

Step 7: Fry the salmon

Fry the fish on both sides until all the cutlets, or fillets, are golden brown. Once cooked, put to one side.

Step 8: Cook the vegetables

Using another pan, heat the remaining olive oil and then sweat the red peppers for a couple of minutes, tossing occasionally. Add the asparagus tossing gently for another minute.

Step 9: Add the dressing

Add the dressing to the vegetables and stir briefly.

Step 10: Serve

Serve the salmon on a large dinner plate topped with the vegetables and the coriander and lime sauce. For a finishing touch; garnish with a sprig of coriander.
