Salmon with Hot Sauce Vinaigrette and Pickled Veg

This vibrant salmon with hot sauce vinaigrette and pickled veg is a wonderful addition to your repertoire of heart-healthy recipes. By slow-baking the salmon at a lower temperature, the fish retains its succulent texture and delicate flavour, providing a beautiful contrast to the bright, acidic punch of the home-made pickles. It is a light yet deeply satisfying meal that balances omega-3 rich oils with fresh, crunchy garden vegetables.

Perfect for a nutritious midweek dinner, this dish is naturally low in saturated fat and high in protein. The quick-pickled daikon and carrots add a refreshing sharpness that cuts through the richness of the fish, while the mild hot sauce dressing provides a gentle heat. Serve over a bed of fluffy steamed rice for a complete, balanced bowl that feels both contemporary and comforting.

Ingredients for Salmon with Hot Sauce Vinaigrette and Pickled Veg

  • 4 (5–170g ) skin-on, boneless salmon fillets

  • Kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for salmon

  • 230g daikon, red radishes, carrots, and/or cucumbers, very thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

  • 45ml mild hot sauce (such as Cholula)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • Cooked rice (for serving)

  • 1 cup coriander leaves with tender stems

  • 1/4 cup sliced chives

How to make Salmon with Hot Sauce Vinaigrette and Pickled Veg

Preheat oven to 121°C. Place salmon, skin side down, on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and coat flesh lightly with oil. Bake until just cooked through (flesh will flake easily but still be slightly firm in the very centre), 20–25 minutes.

Meanwhile, place daikon or whatever vegetables you’re using in a small bowl and season with salt. Massage gently with your hands to soften. Drain off any liquid that forms. Add vinegar and toss to coat. Cover and chill until ready to use (this will help vegetables stay firm).

Whisk hot sauce, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons oil in a small bowl. Season vinaigrette with salt.

Divide rice among bowls. Break up salmon into pieces and arrange on top. Drizzle vinaigrette over. Add coriander and chives to vegetables; spoon over salmon.
