"Perfectly poached salmon infused with ginger and lemongrass, ideal for any occasion."
Ingredients:
  • 200.00 gm brown rice
  • 2 limes
  • 5cm piece fresh ginger
  • 1 lemongrass stalk (white part only), chopped
  • 500g salmon fillet, skin on
  • 48.80 gm fish sauce
  • 16.00 gm brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 long red chilli, thinly sliced
  • 250.00 ml fresh mint leaves
  • 250.00 ml fresh coriander leaves
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 125.00 ml crunchy combo sprouts, rinsed, drained (available in the chilled vegetable section of the supermarket)
  • 400g papaya, seeded, peeled, sliced
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, halved, thickly sliced diagonally
Instructions:
  • Prepare perfectly fluffy and aromatic rice by following the instructions on the packet.
  • Prepare the lime by slicing it. Cut a 3cm piece from the ginger and set it aside. Thinly slice the rest of the ginger. In a large, deep frying pan over medium heat, combine the lime and ginger slices, lemongrass, and 1 litre of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add the salmon, placing it skin-side down. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes for medium doneness or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a spatula to carefully remove the salmon from the liquid, discard the skin, and gently flake the salmon into large pieces.
  • Juice the lime and finely grate the ginger. Combine 2 tablespoons lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, sesame oil, chili, and ginger in a small bowl. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • Combine fresh mint, fragrant coriander, diced onion, and crunchy sprouts in a bowl. Separate cooked rice, ripe papaya, crisp cucumber, the herb mixture, and tender salmon into individual bowls. Finish off with a drizzle of the flavorful dressing before serving.
