Sweet Chilli Salmon is my go to fish dish for a quick weeknight meal or gussied up with sides and extras as part of an Asian inspired feast. I serve my sticky salmon with sticky rice & steamed greens for a full meal with pungent flavours. Best of all, its really quite quick to make and rather impressive to boot.
Reserve half of the 10g Fresh Coriander for later garnishing. Roughly chop the other half and add to a small bowl.
Finely slice 1 Spring Onions and add to the chopped coriander along with 3 tbsp Sweet Chilli Sauce, 2 tbsp Fish Sauce, 1 tsp Sugar, 2 tsp Wine Vinegar, 2 tsp Ginger Paste and 2 tbsp Water.
Stir thoroughly until the sugar is fully dissolved. Set side.
Ensure that a 150g Salmon Fillet is dry and check for pin bones. Remove any bones with tweezers if needed. Season with Sea Salt Flakes.
Take a small frying pan and add a couple of sprays of Oil Spray to the pan to coat it and heat until nearly smoking - I use a quite high heat. Add the Salmon Fillet to the pan, flesh side down.
Leave for 4 to 5 minutes until the flesh is golden and you can see that the flesh has cooked to nearly half way up the fillet.
Turn the fish and leave to cook on the skin side to the desired done-ness. Take off the heat and cover with foil to keep warm.
Turn the heat down on the frying pan and drain off most of the oil.
Add the sauce ingredients to the pan and warm for only 1 minute or so until warmed through but not boiling. Take off the heat ready to serve.
Top you rice and/or greens with the salmon.
Pour over the sauce and garnish with the reserved coriander.
