Salmon collar and strips of belly are simmered with semi-ripe papaya and moringa leaves in a broth flavored with shallots, lemongrass, galangal, garlic and fish sauce.
Lemongrass, ginger, scallions, garlic and tomatoes are sauteed to make the base for the broth. Lime juice is stirred in towards the end of cooking time.
Cubes of raw salmon are seasoned and tossed with cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Apetina (a white cheese similar to feta) and two salad dressings. Yes, two. One for the vegetables and another for the salmon.
Inspired by canh chua, Vietnamese sweet and sour soup, the flavor of the broth comes from the combination of sour tamarind juice and chunks of sweet ripe pineapple.
Orzo cooked in salted water is tossed with olive oil, garlic, chili, lemon zest, dill and mint, topped with thin slices of cold smoked salmon, and drizzled with lemon juice.
