Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 1 salmon fillet
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped up finely
• 1 gingerroot, 3cm x 1cm, chopped up finely
• 1/2 red chili, chopped up finely
• 1/2 lime
• 1 bunch coriander, roughly chopped
• salt
• unsalted butter

Recipe

• 1 start by using a pestle and mortar to crush up the garlic and ginger. pound it in a while to release the flavor. now add the chili and coriander and finally the lime to create a marinade.
• 2 now, heat a good quality pan so it's hot.
• 3 while this happens, spread the marinade from the mortar onto the skinless side of the salmon fillet. now add a little salt.
• 4 next, add a good sized knob of butter into the hot dish and place the salmon into the pan, skin size down on a medium to high heat.
• 5 allow the salmon to cook for about 6-8 minutes allowing the skin to become crispy and also cook the salmon a little too.
• 6 now turn it about, so the salmon is on the marinade bed and allow it to cook on a medium heat. allow to cook for about 15 minutes.
• 7 the bed will burn on the pan side, but the salmon will remain unburnt, so don't worry!
• 8 after about 15 minutes, the salmon should be cooked through depending on the thickness of the fillet.
• 9 remove carefully and serve on a plate with the skin size down.
• 10 serve with a combination of items, including stir-fry noodles, or traditional vegetables including new potatoes, green vegetables or maybe something a little more experimental!
