Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6.

To make the braised leeks, combine the leeks, butter and 25ml water in a large nonstick pan, then season well. Cook, stirring regularly, over a medium heat for 10 minutes, until soft and translucent.

Meanwhile, put the salmon on a baking tray. Combine 1 teaspoon of the ginger with the soy sauce and spoon over the salmon. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through.
