SOY MOLASSES SALMON
Steps:
- Combine the soy sauce, molasses, sesame oil, garlic, ginger powder, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar and honey in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring to a slight boil, whisking or stirring constantly. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the canola oil. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until the skin is brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little of the sauce, then flip and cook until the salmon is about medium, another minute or two. Depending on the thickness of salmon, you may need more or less time.
- Allow the salmon to rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle with more sauce before serving and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:
- Unroll the pastry and brush one side all over with the beaten egg. Sprinkle over the poppy seeds, then flip over the pastry. Spread the cream cheese over the pastry and top with the smoked salmon, then scatter over the chives. With one of the longer sides facing you, mark a line roughly down the centre, but don't cut all the way through. Tightly roll each end in towards the middle until you reach the centre. Slice into 1cm-thick pieces and place, cut-side up, on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Chill until ready to bake, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 20-25 mins until puffed up and golden brown (if baking from frozen, cook for an extra 5 mins). Leave to cool on a wire rack before packing for your picnic.

Steps:
- Whisk together the poppy seeds, orange zest and juice, vinegar and oils with some black pepper and a pinch of salt - be sparing with the salt, as smoked salmon is naturally quite salty.
- Carefully separate the slices of salmon, then put into a mixing bowl with most of the radishes and spring onions. Drizzle over the dressing and gently toss together lightly - using your hands is best. Let the salmon marinate for just 5-10 mins while you toast the bread - any longer and the vinegar will begin to 'cook' the fish.
- Spread the salmon over a large plate or platter, pour over any dressing left in the bowl, then scatter over the reserved radishes and spring onions. Bring to the table with toasted bread and a few forks, and let everyone help themselves.

Steps:
- Mix the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes on a plate, then press the salmon fillets into the mixture to coat.
- Heat half the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the salmon, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over high heat, add the vegetables, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until just cooked. Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and serve with the salmon and basmati rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. For this recipe, it's best to use a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet. If you can't find wild-caught salmon, then use a sustainably farmed salmon fillet.
- Cook the salmon properly. The salmon should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Make the poppy seed sauce ahead of time. The sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will save you time on the day you're making the salmon.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This salmon with poppy seed sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the poppy seed sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
