How to make Salmon with Hot Sauce Vinaigrette and Pickled Veg

Preheat oven to 121°C. Place salmon, skin side down, on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and coat flesh lightly with oil. Bake until just cooked through (flesh will flake easily but still be slightly firm in the very centre), 20–25 minutes.

Meanwhile, place daikon or whatever vegetables you’re using in a small bowl and season with salt. Massage gently with your hands to soften. Drain off any liquid that forms. Add vinegar and toss to coat. Cover and chill until ready to use (this will help vegetables stay firm).

Whisk hot sauce, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl. Season vinaigrette with salt.

Divide rice among bowls. Break up salmon into pieces and arrange on top. Drizzle vinaigrette over. Add coriander and chives to vegetables; spoon over salmon.
