Instructions: Mix the marinade ingredients together and pour over the salmon. Cover the dish and leave for one hour.

Slice the lettuce across at 1 inch intervals. Take the fish from the marinade and place on a baking sheet. Cook in a preheated oven at 200C/400F/gas6 for 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the sesame oil in a saucepan and fry the shallot and ginger for 2-3 minutes. Add the reserved marinade and the sugar, then bring to the boil. Cook over a high heat until the sauce has reduced and is thick and glossy. Sieve and keep warm. You should have about six tablespoons of sauce.

In a large frying pan heat the vegetable oil and stir-fry the lettuce for 1-2 minutes. The lettuce should be hot but not soggy. Divide the lettuce between four plates. Place a piece of salmon on each and spoon over some hot sauce. Serve at once with boiled sticky rice.
