2 SERVING

Ingredients:

1 lb. Skin-On Salmon Fillet
1.5 cup Coconut Milk
1/2 oz. Lemongrass, Finely Sliced
1 tbsp. Ginger, Minced
3 clove Garlic, Minced
1 tbsp. Lime Juice
1/4 tsp. Lime Zest
1 tbsp. Fish Sauce
1 tbsp. Chili Sauce
1 tbsp. Brown Sugar
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
FOR the GARNISH
1/2 medium Lime, Thinly Sliced

Directions:

Step 1

Place the salmon fillet skin-side up on a cutting board, make several parallel cuts across the skin, and cut into 3 equal-sized fillets. Use your fingers to rub 1 teaspoon of oil on the top, bottom and sides of the salmon fillets, then season both sides of the fish with ½ teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, into the pan, and allow to cook for 4 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Turn the fillets over with a spatula and cook until the fish is firm to the touch, about 3-4 minutes. Remove fish from skillet and transfer to a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté ginger, garlic and lemongrass in the remaining oil over medium-high heat, until aromatic. Stir in chili sauce and coconut milk, add brown sugar and fish sauce, then season with ½ teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add lime zest and juice, then place salmon fillets, skin-side down, into the skillet. Braise salmon for 3 minutes, until it soaks up the sauce. Turn off the heat.

Step 4

Top each fillet with lime, chili pepper slices and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Final Notes

You may also add cooked noodles to the sauce for a more filling meal.
