If you love fragrant Thai flavours you will love this Sensational Thai Baked Salmon recipe. Using fresh flavours from lemongrass, garlic, chilli and kaffir lime your taste buds will come alive with this recipe.

Recipe Overview:

To make this recipe you simply need to blend the Thai herbs with lime juice and tamari soy sauce to make a paste. I use my Vitamix Blending Cup for the A3500i Ascent High Speed Blender to make this marinade in seconds. It’s so easy and it’s high power grind through the aromatics (such as lemongrass, garlic, chilli and kaffir lime leaves) easily for a no-fuss, flavourfull marinade. Pour the paste over fresh salmon fillets and bake in a pre-heated oven until the marinade has caramalised and your salmon is cooked to your liking.

This Thai inspired salmon recipe is made with whole food ingredients and is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free.

How To Serve:

My Sensational Thai Baked Salmon recipe is so versatile. Perfect for a healthy and flavoursome dinner or an easy and impressive dish to share with guests. I love to serve the baked salmon on a bed of fresh salad ingredients such as ribboned cucumber, finely sliced capsicum, snow peas and fresh coriander and dressed in fresh lime juice and a splash of fish sauce or tamari to season. A wombok side salad is also a great accompaniment. This recipe is also perfect served with steamed or stir-fried vegetables, especially vegetables such as bok choy, broccolini or snow peas.
