Name: Thai Baked Salmon
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 salmon fillet; 2 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled; 2 kaffir lime leaves; 1 stick lemongrass; 1/2 garlic clove, chopped finely; 1/2 large red chili, seeded, sliced; fresh coriander, chopped; 1 tablespoon grated palm sugar; 1 tablespoon limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice; splash light soy sauce; splash fish sauce

Servings: persons

1
Remove the skin from the salmon if desired. Remove the pin bones in the salmon with tweezers.
2
Preheat barbecue or preheat oven to 220u00b0C/200u00b0C fan-forced.
3
Slice ginger thinly then cut into long thin strips. Remove the centre rib from the lime leaves; shred the leaves finely. Cut about 6cm from the end of the lemon grass stalk - you will only need the tender white section. Discard tough outer layer and green top section. Split lemon grass in half, remove the v-shaped centre. Chop the lemon grass finely.
4
Place the salmon on a sheet of lightly greased foil on an oven tray; top with all ingredients. Fold up foil to enclose salmon and form a parcel. Barbecue (or cook in oven) for about 8 minutes or until done as desired. Salmon is best served rare in the centre.
5
Serve with steamed rice, Chinese broccoli and lime wedges, if desired.
