Ingredients:

4 C. Wirthy salmon fillets
1 inch piece root ginger, peeled and cut into small, very thin slices
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and cut into small, very thin slices
12 oz. tomatoes, peeled and halved
1 fresh red chili, de-seeded and sliced as finely as possible

1 small yellow pepper, de-seeded and thinly sliced
4-6 cardamom pods, roughly crushed
14 oz. canned coconut milk
Sea salt to taste
2 limes, juice only
Handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped


Cooking Instructions:

1. Put the salmon fillets in a fairly shallow ovenproof dish with a lid, into which they fit quite closely.

2. Scatter the ginger, garlic, tomato, chili and yellow pepper over and around the fish and the cardamom pods in between.

3. Empty the coconut milk into a separate bowl, add a good sprinkling of sea salt and gradually stir in the lime juice. Pour the mixture gently over and around the fish and cover the dish.

4. Preheat the oven to 300 F.  Put the dish on the center shelf and cook for 40-50 minutes, until the fish is lightly done. To discover this insert a small, sharp knife into the centre of one of the fillets - if the flesh is slightly darker pink in the centrer it will be perfectly cooked. Remove from the oven.


Serving Suggestions:

Before serving scatter the mint leaves on top.
