Clean the mussels thoroughly under running water. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and cook with the lid on for 7 minutes until the shells open.

Remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into cubes.

Put the bacon in a saucepan over a low heat until the fat melts, then transfer to a plate. Add the butter, leek, celery, carrots, fennel, sweetcorn, garlic and herbs, and briefly fry while stirring. Add the reserved liquid from cooking the mussels, cream, Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce and lemon juice, season with the pepper and simmer for 16 minutes. Remove the bay leaves, purée half the stock and return it to the saucepan. Add the mussels and salmon, and cook for a further 4 minutes.

Step 3

10 g butter – 1  small garlic clove, chopped – 4 slice(s) of baguette – 2 tbsp chopped parsley
