Spicy Salmon Salad, Thai Style (LAP SALMON)

INGREDIENTS :

Grilled salmon 1.5 lbs.

Shallots, peeled and sliced thin 1 cup

Onion, sliced thin 2 tbsp.

Mint leaves 1/2 cup

Toasted raw rice kernels, ground 3 - 4 tbsp.

Red chili powder 1 - 2 tbsp.

Fish sauce 1/4 cup

Fresh lime juice 1/3 cup

Red spur chili peppers, sliced 2 tbsp.

Chopped fresh galangal (optional) 3 tbsp. (4 servings)

1. Baste the pieces of salmon lightly with vegetable oil and grill until cooked. Take off heat and let cool.

2. With a fork break salmon pieces into a crumble. Add the rest of the salad garnishes except the fresh lime juice. Toss all the ingredients together, then add fresh lime juice to taste. It should be tart enough at first taste but not overpowering.

3. Spoon this salad over decorative lettuce cups and garnish with fresh mint leaves and julienne red spur chili peppers.
