Ingredients
- 200 g Atlantic salmon fillet
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tbsp shallots
- 0.5 cup fresh dill
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 65 g rice vermicelli noodles
- 356.5 g broccoli
- 1.5 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 10 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 each bird's eye chili
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp scallion
Method
- 01In a bowl, combine grated fresh turmeric, minced ginger, sliced shallots, 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Add the salmon pieces and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
- 02Cook the rice vermicelli noodles in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes until tender, then drain and rinse under cold water.
- 03Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli slaw for 60 seconds until bright green and crisp-tender, then shock in ice water and drain thoroughly.
- 04Prepare the nước chấm by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1.5 teaspoons of sugar, lime juice, warm water, and minced bird's-eye chili in a small bowl until the sugar fully dissolves.
- 05To make the scallion oil, warm 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a pan, toss in chopped scallions for 30 seconds until fragrant, and remove from heat.
- 06Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon and pan-fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, adding the fresh dill during the last minute of cooking, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
- 07Assemble the dish by adding the rice vermicelli to the bottom of a serving bowl. Top with blanched broccoli slaw, turmeric-dill salmon, and drizzle generously with the nước chấm and scallion oil.
