Tiger Mike's Salad & Tilapia

Dear Sham,

For your Salad: Sesame Orange Dressing:

Place 2 tbsp orange juice and 1 tsp finely grated orange rind in a small screw-top jar. Add 1/3 cup of virgin olive oil and 1/4 tsp sesame oil (the best is Korean). Shake well to combine and season with freshly ground black pepper.

For your Tilapia: Chinese Lemon Sauce:

1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp water
2 spring onions, sliced diagonally
pinch of salt

1. Combine the lemon juice, stock, water honey sugar and ginger in a small pan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
2. Increase the heat and bring mixture to boil. Combine the cornflour and water in a small bowl, add to the pan and allow to thicken. Remove from heat, stir in the spring onions and season with salt.
