Method

  1. To make the chilli sauce heat the sugar and vinegar in a small pan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until syrupy and then take off the heat. Cool then add the shallot and chilli flakes.
  2. Crush the sichuan peppercorns in a pestle and mortar until finely ground. Add in the five-spice, cornflour and a couple of pinches of sea salt and mix. Rub the salmon with the spiced cornflour on all sides. Heat a non-stick frying pan with 1 tbsp of sesame oil until hot. Cook the fish on medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side. If you have very thick fish, then do 5 minutes on each side.
  3. Blanch the sugar snap peas for a few minutes. Serve the salmon and sauce with the peas and cooked noodles or rice.

    Nothing to write home about. I found this uninspiring and low on flavour. If you fancy trying, I suggest you increase amount of peppercorns as 1tsp is not enough (maybe a typo?) between 4 people. On the plus side, it is easy and quick!

    We thought this was scrumptious, I halved the recipe for 2 people, but still used 1 tsp of peppercorns and five spice after reading the comments above. A definite keeper as slightly unusual.
