Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 stalks lemon grass, crushed and sliced thinly
- 4 salmon fillets or steaks
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 fresh red chilli, finely diced
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 stalks lemon grass, crushed and sliced thinly
- 4 salmon fillets or steaks
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 fresh red chilli, finely diced
- Step 1 of 5To make the marinade, place rice vinegar, honey, garlic, chill, fish sauce, soy sauce and lemon grass in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir as you bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and allow to simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. The sauce will gradually begin to thicken. When marinade has thickened, place in the refrigerator or freezer to cool to at least room temperature.
- Step 2 of 5Once the marinade is cool, place the salmon steaks into a shallow dish and spoon over the marinade reserving some for later and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 25 minutes.
- Step 3 of 5Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan on a medium high heat. Pat the salmon dry before adding them to the pan. Allow salmon to fry undisturbed for at least 2 minutes before turning. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the flesh, and how you like your salmon cooked. You'll know the salmon is cooked when the inner flesh is no longer transparent and the outside is just beginning to flake.
- Step 4 of 5Meanwhile reheat the left over marinade and spoon a little over each fillet and garnish with the fresh coriander.
- Step 5 of 5Serve with a fresh green salad and potatoes.
