Atlantic Salmon Prime Fillet, poached and flaked43.0 g
Quinoa, cooked81.1 g
Spinach, raw, finely chopped43.2 g
Scallions, thinly sliced10.8 g

Instructions

1

Prepare the poaching liquid by simmering water with a slice of ginger and lemongrass. Gently poach the Atlantic salmon fillet for 6-8 minutes until opaque and easily flaked with a fork. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, finely chopped raw spinach, and the flaked salmon. Fold the mixture gently to keep the salmon texture intact.

3

To mimic the traditional Khanom Krok experience while using the available palette, form the mixture into small, rounded patties. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a light brushing of neutral oil. Sear the patties for 2-3 minutes per side until the exterior is lightly golden and crisp, evoking the texture of a traditional griddled Thai snack.

4

Plate the warm patties immediately. Garnish generously with the fresh, bright green sliced scallions. The dish should offer a pleasant contrast between the crisp, warm exterior and the tender, savory salmon-quinoa interior. Serve as a warm, protein-forward savory snack.
