Ingredients:
For Salmon:
Salmon fillet
Some oil
Salt and pepper

For Asian Sauce:
3-4 dashes of Fish Sauce
1/2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
6-7 tsp of  Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Peanut Butter
1/2 tbsp Maple Syrup
1/4 cup Sake (optional)
1/2 cup Vegetable Broth or Water
1 inch piece of Ginger
3-4 tsp Chinese Spicy Chilly Crisp Sauce

Leafy Vegetable Salad:
Two Scallions
Some coriander
Some Romaine Lettuce

Rice

Method:
1. Heat some oil on a non-stick pan. Once the oil is heated put the salmon fillet on the pan, skin side down.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the salmon and cover the pan with a lid.
Cook salmon on low-to-medium flame with the lid on for 15 minutes.

2. On the side, put some rice for cooking.


3. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the sauce in a bowl. Mix soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sake, vegetable broth, chilly crisps, peanut butter, grated ginger, salt and pepper.

4. Thinly slice two scallions. Chop coriander and some romaine lettuce. Mix these vegetables and keep on side.

5. After 15 minutes, remove the salmon from the pan and wrap in an aluminum foil. Seal this wrap with another aluminum foil to make a double insulation around the salmon. Set aside on a wooden chopping board for 10 minutes.


6. While salmon is resting, put the prepared sauce in the same pan with the salmon juices. Boil the sauce for 5-6 minutes or until it thickens.

7. In the end assemble the dish by placing some rice at the bottom of the plate, top with the flaked salmon and vegetable salad. Dress up the dish with the Asian sauce.
