Brush each piece of foil with a little oil and bring the edges of the foil up a little.STEP 3Fill your parcels. Place a couple of broccoli stems on each one, then sit a salmon fillet on top and scatter over the ginger.STEP 4Spoon over the sauce. Spoon the sauce over each salmon fillet and drizzle with a little sesame oil, if you like.STEP 5Close the parcels. Fold over the edges of the foil together to seal and place the parcels on a baking sheet. Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead.STEP 6Cook the parcels. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

Serve each parcel on a plate and let each person open it themselves. Serve with spring onions and sesame seeds for scattering over, and some rice on the side.
