Hainanese Salmon with Rice

category: recipes
by Yun,

I recently bought a lot of salmon fillets. So, now I have a chance to experiment different ways to prepare and cook salmon. One day I chatted with my friend, E, who reminded me about Hainanese-style cooking using salmon fillets. As written in my earlier blog, Hainanese chicken rice is one of my favorite food. To prepare Hainanese salmon is similar to cooking Hainanese chicken rice. I simply replace the meat with salmon fillet. To prepare the salmon, I use the same seasonings as what I usually use to cook steamed fish; but this time I use an oven/broiler instead of a steamer. I share details of my Hainanese salmon recipe below.

Main ingredients:

1 pound salmon fillet

3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thin

3 cm fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thin

1 tsp sesame oil

2 stalks scallion, shredded

1 cup seasoned soy sauce for seafood

For rice:

2 cup jasmine rice, washed

3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

2 cm fresh ginger, peeled and minced

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp chicken fat (optional)

1 tsp salt

2½ - 3 cups chicken stock

For chili:

5 fresh red chillies, chopped and blended

5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

2 cm fresh ginger, peeled and minced

1 tbs chicken fat

salt, sugar and lime juice to taste

For sauce (my favorite):

1 clove garlic, peeled and minced

1 cm fresh ginger, peeled and minced

4 tbsp light soy sauce (approximately)

1 tbsp sesame oil (approximately)

Direction:

Salmon:

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F
Place some garlic and ginger on a plate, then place the salmon fillet, and add the remaining ginger, garlic, and scallion on the top of the salmon
Pour seafood soy sauce and sesame oil
Wrap it with aluminum foil
Put it in the oven for 30 minutes

Rice:

Heat the pot with sesame oil and chicken fat
Stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant
Add the washed rice into the pot, stir well until each grain is coated with fat
Move the rice to the rice cooker, add chicken stock and salt before cooking the rice

Chili:

Blend together chili, garlic, and ginger to a fine paste
Add chicken fat, sugar, salt, and lime juice to taste

Sauce:

Mix all sauce ingredients together in a bowl

Finally, Hainanese salmon is ready to be served with cucumber shreds on the side. Enjoy and happy cooking!

For those of you who already left comments yesterday or earlier today, I’m sorry…. I mistakenly edited my spam blocker so that it detected all comments as spams.
I already resolved the problem so I hope it will be fine from now.

Can you please ask my question when it is written 8 cloves garlic. Is it means that ,this small pieces of garlic must be 8 or just the whole one of the garlic must be eight.

Thanks

Hi Naima. It means eight small pieces of garlic, NOT eight whole garlics.
