Pandan Salmon 香兰鲑鱼

Instead of making the normal pandan chicken (spiced chicken wrapped with screwpine leaves), this time I tried something different, pandan salmon which is rich in Omega 3.

Instead of the usual deep frying method. This time I just bake it, less oily and healthy.

Anyway, before bake, I still apply a layer of cooking oil on top of pandan leaf.



 

This idea came when I browsing thru a menu of a famous Thai restaurant.

And my family like this salmon version too.
