Red Thai Atlantic Salmon











I would call this a deconstruction but that sound pretentious. It is instead a fusion of asian vegetables with a Thai red curry paste. combined with a pan roasted Atlantic salmon fillet. The salmon needs nothing added to it in my opinion as the textures and flavours work perfectly for themselves.

Vegetables
Saute
1 sliced onion
2 Pak Choy sliced stems
1 sliced red chilli
1 sliced yellow capsicum
Finally add the Pak Choy leaves at the very end and cook only a little

Sauce
Coconut milk
Thai red chilli paste

Salmon
Pan fry starting with skin side down turn only once

Place curry sauce in base of plate and top with molded rice
Place vegetables with care around the rice
Then place the salmon fillet beside the rice

The flavours work well and enhance the salmon without overwhelming it. On the left is the compromise for a teenager who will not eat vegetables, and corn and peas don't work with this, but....
