- Sesame oil to grease
- 4 salmon fillets, about 150 g (5oz) each and 25cm (1in thick)
- 4 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 200 g (7oz) pak choi or spinach
- 25 cm (1in) fresh ginger
- 4 spring onions
- Fresh coriander sprigs to garnish
- Step 1
Lightly grease four large sheets of foil, each about 14in (35.5cm) square, with sesame oil. Put a salmon fillet in the centre of each piece of foil and drizzle with 1tbsp soy sauce.
- Step 2
Divide the pak choi or spinach leaves, coarsely grated ginger and sliced spring onions between the salmon fillets and fold up the foil loosely but neatly to form parcels. Seal the edges well so the parcels can be turned over during cooking; make sure the foil parcels are large enough to allow for the expansion of air that takes place as the salmon begins to cook.
- Step 3
Place the parcels on a barbecue or hot grill and cook for 4–5min on each side. Serve the sealed parcels to your guests at the table – warn them to watch out as they open the parcels, though, as the steam builds up inside. Garnish with coriander sprigs and serve with fragrant Thai rice.
