Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the carrot, peppers and spring onions in a large roasting tin. Top with the salmon, skin-side down.
In a blender, whizz the ginger, lemongrass, mirin, soy sauce and sesame oil to a paste. Add the lime zest and juice, then whizz again.
Spread the paste over the salmon flesh, then scatter with the red chilli and fennel seeds. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily.
Arrange the vegetables and salmon on a platter. Garnish with the coriander and lime wedges. Serve warm or cold.
