Instructions
METHOD TOMATO COULIS
Heat butter in saucepan, allow to just start browning (about 8-10 minutes) Add the garlic, ginger, chili, chili flakes, sugar, stirring to prevent it from sticking.
Add the chopped peppers, and sauté until cooked through and soft.
Add the diced tomatoes, mix through. Add the rosemary sprigs and allow to simmer for 30 mins.
Set aside and leave to cool.
Remove the rosemary from the stalks and return to the tomato mixture.
Blend together and adjust seasoning.
Leave to cool.
METHOD PEPPER TOPPING
Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the julienned peppers and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the chili, garlic and ginger and cook for another 2 minutes or until the garlic is soft.
Add the coriander, fish sauce, lime juice, soya sauce and chili flakes. Sauté for 2 minutes or until everything is soft. Make sure you mix it together well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
METHOD ROASTED POTATOES
Add potatoes to a pot of water and boil it till it is almost soft. Drain the potatoes and add to a roasting tin and drizzle with the olive oil and salt to taste. Roast the potatoes until it is nice and soft and slightly crispy on the outside.
METHOD ROASTED TOMATOES
Add the tomatoes to a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and grind some salt over the tomatoes. Roast the tomatoes for 15 – 20 minutes or until the skin crack and it is soft.
METHOD SALMON
Make sure the fillet is cut into similar size portions, so the cooking time is the same.
Score the side without the skin to impart more flavour when you marinade it. Mix the olive oil together with the garlic, chili and ginger. Brush this over the scored salmon fillets and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Add water to a wok, and bring it to the boil. Make sure that the water won’t touch the bamboo steamer.
Add the ginger, salt, coriander, dill and garlic to the water.
Line the steamer with baking paper and place the marinated fish in the steamer and allow it to steam for at least 8 – 10 minutes, or until done. The steaming time will differ, depending on the thickness of the fillet and the heat of the steaming liquid.
TO SERVE
Plate coulis on the plate, plating the fish on top and topping the fish with the peppers.
Add the roasted tomatoes and potatoes next to the fish on the plate.
