Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 cup vegetable oil; Four 6- to 7-ounce skinless salmon fillets; 2 cloves garlic, sliced; 3 cups seeded, julienned hothouse cucumbers, soaked in cold water to crisp; drained; 1/3 cup chopped Asian basil; 2/3 cup Ginger-Lime sauce, recipe follows; 3 tablespoons chopped, roasted peanuts; 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic; 3 Thai bird chiles or 1 serrano chile, chopped; 3 tablespoons sugar; 3 tablespoons minced ginger; 3 tablespoons fish sauce; 3 tablespoons lime juice; 3 tablespoons water

Directions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over moderate heat. Cook the salmon fillets (2 pieces at a time), until they're golden and just done, 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. About 2 minutes before the salmon is done, add the garlic slices to the oil to flavor the fish. (If the fillets are thick, cover and cook a few minutes longer.) Remove the salmon and garlic and drain on paper towels.
Combine the cucumber with the basil in a small bowl. Place a small amount of the cucumber mixture on individual plates. Arrange the salmon fillet on top and garnish with the cucumber mixture and sprinkle a few pieces of the cooked garlic on top. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the Ginger-Lime Sauce, top with peanuts and serve immediately.
