1. Boil 250ml water in a kettle and put one saucepan on the stove with water to boil. Trim and discard the end of the bok choy and add to a bowl of cold water.

5. While the salmon is simmering, cut the bok choy into 10cm lengths, grouping together the thick stalks, thin stalks and leaves separately. Split any very thick stalks in half lengthwise. 

6. Add the thick stalks and boil for a minute, then add the thin stalks and the leaves on top. Add the peas. Boil for 2 minutes, occasionally shaking the greens in the water with tongs. Remove from the water and drain well.

7. Remove the rice and salmon from the pan and add to a bowl. Add the green vegetables and and pour soy sauce. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the dish and add 1 fresh diced chilli if desired.
