To begin, place a frying pan over a high heat and add the peanut oil. Once hot, stir-fry the garlic, ginger, turmeric and chilli until fragrant, then add the stock, coconut cream and lemongrass and bring to the boil

2 tsp peanut oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
5g of fresh ginger, grated
20g of turmeric, fresh, finely grated
2 small red chillies, thinly sliced
355ml of fish stock
400ml of coconut cream
20g of lemongrass, fresh

Once boiling, add the salmon fillets so they are immersed in the sauce and flat. Lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer for approximately 8 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fillets from the sauce and place in a serving bowl, covering to keep warm. Remove the lemongrass from the sauce and discard. Bring the sauce back to the boil and cook for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly

Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the fish sauce, sliced green onions and pak choi
