    I made this for a BBQ whilst camping at Wellington Country Park. Wrapped the salmon in a foil parcel and cooked for approximately 20 minutes. The thai flavours were delicious and a real treat whilst camping.

    Pretty nice, I will make again. I wasn't sure what to serve it with though. I was going to steam some pak choi but thought this wouldn't be enough.

    Sounds a lovely dish. But where do you buy tamarind purée? And banana leaves for that matter. My local Asian store had neither products & no idea where to get them from.
