STEAMED SALMON WITH LEMONGRASS Serves: 2-3

INGREDIENTS CHILLI OIL ¼ cup chilli flakes 1 tbsp chilli powder ½ tsp salt 1 cup vegetable oil 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns or chilli flakes 1 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 piece cinnamon or cassia cinnamon 1 bay leaf 1 cardamom pod 3 slices ginger 1 spring onion stalk

STEAMED TASSAL SALMON 2 bok choy, sliced in half 300g Tassal Fresh Tassie Salmon skin off 1 stick lemongrass 3 shiitake mushrooms 2 coriander stalks 1 long red chilli, julienned 1cm ginger, julienned 1 stick lemongrass 1 cup steamed rice

METHOD 1 T o make the chilli sauce, mix chilli flakes, chilli powder and salt together in a bowl.

Add oil into a cold pot with remaining chilli oil ingredients and cook over a low heat for 2 30 minutes or until the spring onion turns brown, then turn off the heat. Allow oil to cool for 5 minutes and then strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a deep, heat proof bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes and then discard everything caught in the sieve.

3

Return oil to the stove over a medium heat, once hot add half of the chilli flakes mixture. Let the oil bubble intensely for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and once bubbling subsides add the remaining mixture. Remove from heat and stir well with a clean, dry spoon until combined. Allow to cool to room temperature.

4

Prepare two steaming baskets by lining them with baking paper and bring a pot of water to the simmer.

5 Place the bok choy halves in one steaming basket.

Using the back of a knife, bash and bruise your lemongrass and cut into sticks 6 so that it fits in the steaming basket. To prepare the other steaming basket, place lemongrass on the baking paper, top with coriander stalks and then salmon fillets. Spoon 1-2 tsp of chilli oil over the salmon fillets and then generously cover it with shiitake mushrooms and julienned chilli and ginger.

Stack the salmon steamer on top of the bok choy steamer and steam for 15 7 minutes until your salmon is tender.

MISO SALMON AND SOBA SALAD Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS 300g Tassal Fresh Tassie Salmon skin on ¼ cup red miso paste ¼ cup soy sauce 2 tbsp honey 2 tbsp rice vinegar 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp grated ginger 1 cup wild mushrooms such as beech, shiitake or maitake

200g buckwheat soba noodles, cooked ½ small cucumber, seeds removed and thinly sliced 1 radish, thinly sliced 1 small bunch spring onions, chopped

1 small bunch of coriander, roughly chopped leaving stems aside 1 bunch parsley 1 tbsp sesame seeds, white or black 1 tbsp sesame oil Juice of 1 lemon

METHOD ake your miso sauce by mixing the miso, soy, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, coriander M stems and ginger in a bowl until combined. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.

2 Pat the salmon skin dry with a paper towel. Brush the fish with a tiny bit of sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Make sure you do this only just before cooking the salmon.

3 In a non-stick pan, add olive oil to fully cover the base. Heat the oil on mediumhigh heat (make sure your pan is hot), then put the salmon on the skin side down and turn down to medium.

4 Using an offset spatula, press down on each salmon fillet for 15-20 seconds.

This ensures the skin is as flat as possible against the skillet.

5 Cook skin side down until ½ of the salmon is cooked (approx. 7-10 minutes), then flip.

6 Add mushrooms and your miso sauce in the bottom of your salmon pan, making sure you pour it over the skin. Place the pan in the oven.

7 While your salmon is in the oven, make your soba noodle salad by mixing buckwheat noodles, cucumber, radish, spring onions, coriander leaves, parsley, sesame seeds, sesame oil and lemon juice.

8 Remove your salmon pan from the oven after 5 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through. Serve immediately with your soba noodle salad and pour the remaining miso sauce on top.
