Ingredients
Scale
- 3 stalks Lemongrass (Chop well)
- 4 leaves Thai lime leaves
- 2 pieces Green chillies (Adjust according to spice preference)
- 2 tablespoons Palm sugar or light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets (Skinless and pin boned)
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 1 can Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 2 leaves Thai lime leaves
- 1 bunch Coriander (Fresh)
- 1 bunch Mint (Fresh)
- 1 bunch Thai basil leaves (Fresh)
- 2 pieces Lime wedges (For serving)
Instructions
- Start by placing the chopped lemongrass, lime leaves, and chillies into a small food processor. Blend until you have a fine paste that captures all the aromatic flavors.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add your freshly made lemongrass paste, cooking it for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the grated palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice to the pan. Stir and cook for 4–5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and Thai lime leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Let it stand covered for an additional 5 minutes.
- Preheat your oven grill (broiler) to high. Place salmon fillets on an oven tray and spread the prepared lemongrass paste over each fillet.
- Cook the salmon fillets under the grill for 4–6 minutes until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Spoon your creamy coconut rice into serving bowls, topping each with the caramelised salmon. Garnish with fresh coriander, mint, and Thai basil leaves, and serve with lime wedges.
