Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Salmon
In a bowl, combine coconut milk, chopped basil, and thinly sliced lemongrass. Add the salmon fillets and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- 2
Prepare the Banana Leaves
Soften the banana leaves by passing them over an open flame for a few seconds or blanching them in boiling water. This makes them pliable for wrapping.
- 3
Wrap the Salmon
Place each marinated salmon fillet in the center of a banana leaf. Fold the leaves over the fillet to completely enclose it, securing with kitchen twine if necessary.
