Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Minced the shallots and garlic, slice the ginger into thin pieces, and slice the red chili as desired.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a clay pot or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the minced shallots, garlic, and sliced ginger to the pot. Sauté until they become fragrant and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Salmon

  4. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

  5. 7

    Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the salmon to cook through.
