CHEF’S SECRET

Garnish the dish with toasted sesame seeds just before serving for a pleasant contrast of textures and a nutty flavour.

• If you want to intensify the Asian flavours, add a bit of freshly grated ginger or a few drops of sesame oil to the sauce before brushing it on the fish.
• Experiment with different sides like fragrant jasmine rice or sautéed bok choy or snow peas for a complete meal with Asian influences.
• If you enjoy a bit of heat, a dash of Sriracha sauce or some red pepper flakes in the hoisin sauce add a spicy dimension that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the orange.
• Take care not to overcook the haddock to maintain its moist texture. The fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque yet still juicy.
