I know all fish lovers will enjoy this recipe.  I call it “Dawn’s Salmon”, because my daughter cooked it for us at recently at her place.  Bert and I loved it so much we have it for special occasions now.

DAWN’S DELICIOUS SALMON 
Serves 4-6
 
Ingredients
1 side of salmon or salmon fillets weighing about 1.5kg
1 bunch of coriander
4 spring onions finely chopped
4 limes or lemons halved
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1/3 cup of honey
coriander for decoration
 
Marinade
3 stalks of lemongrass chopped. Use the white part of the stem only.  You can buy lemongrass in most supermarkets.
1 knob of fresh ginger, finely grated
4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
½ cup of soy sauce
Handful of coriander
 
Method
  1. Place fish in a bowl and cover with the marinade for 2 hours or more.
  2. Heat the oven to 200 degrees.
  3. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and gently brush away the marinade.
  5. Place salmon on the tray and drizzle over the honey.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes until the fish is pink in the centre.
 
To serve
  1. Heat a frying pan and when hot pour in the sugar.
  2. When the sugar melts add the lime or lemon halves facing down to caramelize them. They are ready when they are soft and have some colour.
  3. Remove the salmon from the oven and keep warm.
  4. Plate up and decorate with coriander and chopped spring onions.
  5. Place the caramelized limes around fish.
  6. Serve with brown or white rice with a salad.
 
Apologies to Jan. This was meant to be our Good Friday recipe, but I'm sure it's just as delicious a week late.
