Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

Remove the skin from the salmon if desired. Remove the pin bones in the salmon with tweezers.
Preheat barbecue or preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
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.
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.
Serve with steamed rice, Chinese broccoli and lime wedges, if desired.

Tips:

Choose the freshest salmon fillet you can find. This will ensure that the fish is moist and flavorful.
Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the salmon. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and prevent it from drying out.
Be generous with the marinade. The more marinade you use, the more flavorful the salmon will be.
Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the fish without overpowering it.
Bake the salmon in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
Do not overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Bake it just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness.
Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served hot, straight out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This Thai baked salmon recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The salmon is marinated in a flavorful blend of Thai spices and herbs, then baked until it is cooked through. The result is a moist, tender, and flavorful salmon dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
