This Chinese Scramble leans on chilli and sichuan pepper to do the heavy lifting. We slow-cook the Salmon for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the chilli and sichuan pepper elements, and pat the salmon dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the salmon. Cover and cook low and slow, stirring now and then, until rich and spoonable.
Stir in the light soy sauce and the rest of the chilli and sichuan pepper flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the red pepper along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped scallion and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
