Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Finely slice the onion and the half red chilli. Put them in a bowl with the chopped fresh root ginger, the soy sauce and the sesame oil, and stir to combine.

2. Place the salmon in a shallow dish, spoon the soy and ginger mixture over it, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay the salmon and its marinade on a sheet of foil or parchment, then fold the edges into a loose parcel.

4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the thickest part of the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) and the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.

5. Rest the salmon in the parcel for 3 minutes. Open it, scatter over the chopped coriander, the chives and the coriander sprigs, and spoon the juices over before serving.
