Ingredients
- 153.3 g Atlantic Salmon Prime Fillet (used as firm white fish substitute per constraints)
- 198.8 g Rice, white, long-grain, cooked
- 114.7 g Squash, zucchini, raw
- 30.6 g Tamarind paste (with added palm sugar for balance)
Method
- 01Prepare the tamarind-chili dipping sauce by whisking 40g of tamarind concentrate with palm sugar, a splash of fish sauce, lime juice, and finely minced fresh chili; set aside to let flavors bloom.
- 02Season the Atlantic salmon fillets generously with coarse sea salt and stuff with lemongrass stalks and kaffir lime leaves.
- 03Grill the fish over high, direct heat for 4-5 minutes per side until the exterior forms a firm, savory crust and the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 04Meanwhile, slice the zucchini into thin coins and sauté quickly in a screaming hot wok with a touch of oil until slightly charred but still tender-crisp.
- 05Steam the white rice until fluffy and fragrant.
- 06Plating: Arrange the grilled fish on a bed of fresh greens (ensure no cilantro is used as requested). Place a portion of jasmine rice and charred zucchini alongside. Drizzle the tangy, sweet-and-spicy tamarind sauce over the fish just before serving, finishing with a squeeze of fresh lime and a pinch of toasted chili flakes.
