Instructions
- Place the salmon pieces on a plate and drizzle with the oil and season well.
- Prepare the bok choy and steam in a bamboo steamer.
- For the sauce combine the garlic, ginger, chilli, palm sugar, fish sauce and lime juice.
- When ready to serve cook the salmon skin side down over a moderate heat until the skin is welll coloured and then turn it over and cook the other side for a minute, leaving it rare in the middle or cook slightly longer if you prefer.
- To serve, place a bed of bok choy on each plate and top with the salmon and roe.
- Drizzle over the sauce.
- Steamed rice would be a great accompaniment to soak up those delicious juices.
