  • 2 tbsp smooth marmalade
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp clear honey
  • ¼ tsp Chinese five spice
  • 1 pinch ground white pepper
  • 1 pinch mild chilli powder
  • 200g smoked salmon, finely sliced
  • ½ cucumber, deseeded and cut into matchsticks
  • ½ (approx.) red grapefruit, peeled into segments, then roughly chopped to give 100g
  • 100g carrots, cut into matchsticks
  • 100g red cabbage, finely sliced
  • 1 eating apple, cored and cut into matchsticks
  • 1 (50g) bunch coriander, leaves picked
  • ½ lime
  • 2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
  • 1 handful lightly salted crisps, crushed (check for gluten free)

Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix the marmalade, sesame oil, honey, Chinese five spice, white pepper and chilli powder with 1 tbsp just-boiled water, until runny and smooth. Set aside until needed.

  2. Step 2

    Place the smoked salmon in the centre of a round serving platter, then arrange the cucumber, grapefruit, carrot, red cabbage and apple around it in little mounds, alternating the colours for an attractive display. Split the coriander leaves into two piles and arrange on the platter. Squeeze the lime over the apple to avoid discoloration.

  3. Step 3

    Just before serving, pour over the dressing, then scatter with the sesame seeds and crushed crisps. Bring to the table and invite everyone to toss for prosperity!
