THAI INFUSED SALMON

thai salmon

Method

  • To make the marinade place all marinade ingredients together in a saucepan over medium-high heat
  • Stir as you bring the sauce to a boil
  • Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered
  • The sauce will gradually thicken (the smell of the vinegar is rather pungent as it cooks)
  • When marinade/sauce has thickened, place in the refrigerator or freezer to cool for 5 minutes
  • Place salmon fillets in a flat-bottomed dish (so that fillets aren't piled on top of each other)
  • When the marinade has cooled, spoon 2 tablespoon over each fillet, slathering it over the flesh (reserve the remaining sauce for later)
  • Marinate in the refrigerator 10 minutes or up to 24 hours
  • Place a heavy based frying pan onto a medium to high heat
  • Drizzle in two tablespoon oil and allow to get hot; placing the salmon carefully in the pan and cook for at least 2 minutes undisturbed before turning
  • If you turn the fish too soon, it will stick
  • Instead, allow it to "sear", and it will come freely away from the bottom of the pan
  • Fry the fish 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish
  • Salmon is always better pink in the center
