Lemongrass and chilli Salmon Salad

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the lemongrass and chilli elements, and pat the salmon dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the salmon. Sear in a hot pan without crowding until a deep golden crust forms, then rest briefly.

Stir in the rice paper and the rest of the lemongrass and chilli flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the cherry tomatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped coriander and serve while hot.
