Method

  1. Put the salmon in a bowl with the chilli, garlic, coriander, fish sauce, sesame oil and honey. Season with pepper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or overnight.
  2. Grill or barbecue the salmon until it is crisp at the edges. If you like it cooked all the way through rather than rare in the middle then keep cooking until the fish feels very firm to the touch. Serve with the cucumber and onion sprinkled over and the sweet chilli dipping sauce.

Know-how

    This recipe is to die for! I cooked it for my parents and they loved it, i have since cooked it more then once. The dippin sauce is gorgeous and the red onion and cucumber are a match made in heaven for this. I served this with rice noodles, they worked really well. I recommend using a griddle pan, works perfectly. The longer you leave it on the more the lovely marinade caramalises. DELICIOUS! TRY!

    Absolutely delicious and very easy. Only marinaded mine for 1 hour or so but would leave it longer next time for a more intense flavour. Will def be making it again. Still intrigued how this recipe provides a meal for 40 people though!!! :)

    Used the sauce with both salmon and chicken, big hit with all the family. I'll definitely be making this again.

    You do not mention coriander in your list of ingredients but do in the instructions. You may need to amend one or the other.

    This was gorgeous!! I added a little fresh ginger and some sweet chilli sauce to the marinade, and used up the left-over marinade by serving the salmon with a vegetable and noodle stirfry instead of rice. Will definately be making this again!!

    I made this last night for my boyfriend and he loved it, said it was the tastiest fish he'd ever ate, I fried my salmon as I had other stuff in the oven, and served with baby potatoes roasted with sundried tomatoes, it was beautiful.

    Fantastic meal will make again my husband gave it 9/10 and that is brilliant for him as he is not a salmon lover. I mixed hot chilli sauce with mayonnaise for a very spicy but mild dipping sauce.

    This is a really tasty way to cook salmon (which I can find quite bland) Instead of serving with rice I boiled the leftover marinade with the sweet chilli dipping sauce and tossed it through some rice noodles. Will being making again and hopefully will get the weather to try it on the barbie!!!

    This is a great recipe. I added some rice vinegar and a little sugar to the cucumber and red onions.
