Method

Chilli lime-poached salmon

    Pour water into a large frying pan. Add lime leaves, chilli and lemon grass. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

    Transfer salmon to a plate lined with paper towel. Reheat broth. Blanch snow peas and choy sum for 1 minute, drain.

Notes

Use your fingertips to feel for pin bones sticking out of the fillets. Use tweezers to remove them.
