Nasi Ikan

Been cooking grilled salmon this way for several years now. This is a recipe I came up with after trying to cook something different. It turned out okay.

Ingredients:

For the marinade:

1 Lemongrass (Serai)

Small handful of mixed peppercorn (black peppercorn if unavailable)

Pinch of sea salt (garam kasar)

2 - 3 tablespoons coconut milk / cream

For the dipping sauce:

1 diced onion

1 chopped chilli

Hablal's Kicap Lemak Manis (Sweet soy)

Juice from 1/2 lemon or lime 

Method

Grind / pound the indredients with a pestle and mortar until fine. Then mix the coconut milk / cream.

For the dipping sauce, chop up the ingreaients, mix with the soy sauce and squeeze some lemon / lime juice. Leave for a few minutes.

Heat a griddle until hot and then coat the salmon skin with the marinade. Pour 2-3 tablespoons olive oil and place the salmon skin side down. Coat the top of the salmon with the marinade. Leave for about 3-4 minutes - until halfway cooked. Turn and repeat. Add a bit more olive oil as necessary.

When cooked, put aside the salmon. Turn off the stove. Take a small piece and break it into flakes. Scoop about 2-3 plates of cooked rice and mix well.

Dish out. Eat well.
