Great homemade coffee with James Hoffmann.
Lime juice might be more common in the Vietnamese-inspired sauce that accompanies this salmon, but lemon juice reinforces the flavor of the lemon grass. If you can find Thai basil—it's sold in many Asian markets—by all means use it; it packs a stronger, more savory punch than Italian basil. You'll need a 12-inch oven-safe skillet for cooking the salmon. Serve with steamed or stir-fried greens and rice.
Servings
Don’t chop the basil until it's thoroughly dried or it will discolor almost instantly. When adding the fillets to the skillet, don't place them skin side down. Cooking them flesh side down for the entire time results in rich browning on the meat, which adds flavor and makes for nice presentation.
tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
