Method

Marinade

• Finely chop the garlic and chilli. Thinly slice the ginger and the makrut lime leaves into strips. Put everything in a bowl.
• Pour the sweet and regular soy sauce, lime juice, the sesame oil and the peanut butter into the bowl. Mix everything together well.
• Beat the lemongrass so that it splits a little – this releases the flavour – and add to the mix. Leave the marinade on the counter for 30 min so all flavours blend.

Grilled salmon

• Place the salmon in an ovenproof dish and pour the marinade over it.
• Grill it until it is cooked through but juicy (about 10 min).
• Shred it with a fork before plating.
• While grilling, cook rice and place washed lettuce leaves on a plate along with the chopped mangetout, spring onions and sliced radish.
• Cut the lime into wedges and place a large bundle of coriander in a water glass so it will stay fresh throughout the meal.
• Serve the pulled salmon in the lettuce leaves, top with the vegetables and serve the rice with chilli flakes and coriander.
• Squeeze lime juice over it and enjoy an explosion of Asian flavours.
