Cooking instruction

2. Mix ginger, chili and splash of water. Pour it on the pan that was used to fry salmon and stir for 1 min. Serve immediately with the salmon, and garnish with spring onion.

Results





1st attempt:

The fish taste too one dimensional and a little bit overcooked. Next attempt will have the following modifications:
1. Original recipe calls for 1 mild chili, but I can't taste any spicyness at all, so next time, I'll modify it with sambal oelek.
2. Spring onion should be thrown in at the end, not cooked for 2-3 mins.
3. Salmon should be left at room temperature for half an hour or so before cooking, and then pan fried first before broiling it.

2nd attempt:

Salmon taste a lot better this time. Recipe has been updated to reflect the changes.
