Fish Sauce Caramel

Method

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the Huon Premium Tasmanian Salmon Steak and season with salt. Place the steak, skin side down, in a pan over medium-high heat. Press down on the fillet for about 30 seconds to ensure the skin crisps.

Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by combining lime juice, sugar, and fish sauce in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended, then add minced garlic and bird's eye chilli. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

For the salad, in a separate bowl, combine mixed Asian herbs, lime leaves, cucumber, and green beans. Add finely sliced shallots and chilli, then toss with the dressing until evenly coated.

Once the salmon is cooked and the skin is crisp, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
