Instructions

Step 1

Mix soy sauce, lemon grass paste, garlic, ginger, lime juice, chopped cilantro and chilli paste or fresh minced chillies and pour over your salmon.

Step 2

Let it marinade for at least for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Then brush the marinade off your salmon and glaze it with 2 tablespoons of honey, broil in the oven for 7 minutes in the same pan it was marinading until the top is caramelised and blackened and the salmon flakes up easily with a fork.

Step 4

Prepare the dressing by combining peanuts, garlic, minced chilli, salt and palm or brown sugar in a mortar, bash with a pestle until you have a paste and then combine with fish sauce, Tamarind sauce if using and lime juice. Set aside.

Step 5

Peel carrots and cut carrots, cucumbers and radishes in matchsticks using a mandolin or a vegetable grater. Slice spring onions and chilli.

Step 6

Combine all vegetables in a medium sized bowl and gently toss with the dressing.

Step 7

For serving divide the slaw between two plates and sprinkle with crushed peanuts. Top each plate with a piece of salmon. Sprinkle salmon with sesame seeds and more sliced spring onions. Serve immediately.
