Instructions

  1. Heat sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch and the basil leaves in a small saucepan.
  2. Taste and adjust to your preferences.
  3. Just before salmon is done, add cornstarch to the sauce with a small amount of water to make a slurry. Stir until it is glossy and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Stack and roll basil leaves like a small cigar. Sliver them cross-wise into narrow ribbons and drop into the sauce.
  5. Keep sauce warm but be careful not to simmer for a long time.
  6. Serve sauce over the fish with Jasmine or Basmati rice.
