Recipe's preparation

  1. Place Kaffir lime leaves, ginger, turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, garlic and sesame oil into mixing bowl and chop 7 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula and saute 3 min/Varoma/speed 1.

  2. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.

  3. Place coconut cream into mixing bowl and cook 3 min/90 deg/speed 2.

  4. Add reserved ginger mix, zest of both limes into bowl. Add coconut sugar, fish sauce and cook 3 min/90 deg/speed 2.

  5. Add lime juice, mix with spatula and pour half of marinade out into a bowl and allow to cool for 5 mins. Reserve the remainder of marinade in a bowl, covered to keep warm. Rinse mixing bowl.

  6. Place salmon fillets into bowl with cooled marinade whilst you prepare the banana leaves.

  7. Cut banana leaves to size. If your leaves are frozen, please see note below.

  8. Place simmering basket onto lid and weigh rice into it. Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Place 1000g of water into mixing bowl, insert simmering basket with rice, cook 10 min/100 deg/ speed 4.

  9. Place fish onto one banana leaf, spoon an extra 2 tbl of marinade over the fish, wrap securely and place into Varoma basket.

  10. Set Varoma into position and continue to steam 10 min/Varoma/speed 3.

  11. Cut remaining leaf in half and arrange over two plates. Transfer fish on top, dress with some extra sauce and garnish with sliced kaffir limes leaves, green chilli and finger lime segments before serving with steamed rice.

Tip

Banana leaves can be found in most Asian grocery stores. If you can only get frozen leaves, you will need to prepare them before using. Partially thaw what you need and take care in cutting it to the size you require, as torn leaves make it harder to wrap items.
Take a leaf and pass it over an open flame on the stove top, using tongs if required, turning it quickly so it doesnt burn. You'll see the oils release and the leaf will freshen up very quickly.

    TM 6
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
