Ingredients

• 250g (8oz) salmon fillet
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 2 pinches of Chinese Five Spice powder
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
• 2 spring onions, trimmed and sliced
• 1 small red pepper, deseeded and sliced
• 125g (4oz) sugar-snap peas, ends trimmed
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 2 tsp sesame oil to serve:
• 125g (4oz) dried egg noodles,
• 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
• Thickly cut lime slices
• 2 x 30cm (12in) sheets of baking parchment

Method

1. Set the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C. Cut the salmon into 2 triangular-shaped pieces and put in the middle of each sheet of baking parchment. Season with salt, pepper and Five Spice.
2. Sprinkle the garlic, spring onions, red pepper and sugar snaps on top. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil.

4. Meanwhile, put the noodles into a large ovenproof dish and pour 900ml (1½ pints) boiling water over them. Cover with foil and put into the oven for 10 mins, to soften.
5. Drain the noodles and toss them with the teriyaki sauce. Serve with the salmon parcels and lime slices.
