The author of the cookbook this recipe comes from, Linda Stephen, has travelled extensively through Thailand and brings both her expertise and love for the cuisine to the recipes in this cookbook.
Linda says this about her wonderful steamed salmon recipe:
“Oven steaming is an easy alternative to the traditional steaming method in a wok. This light, refreshing dish reminds me of the simple fish dishes (using freshly caught local fish) served at seaside resorts and restaurants along the Gulf of Thailand.”
The fragrance will hit you as soon as you open the packet.
Fresh and spicy, it is perfect for a light dinner with a bit of rice and some steamed vegetables.
