Ingredients

Dressing

2 tablespoon sake

2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon low-salt soy sauce

Salmon

1 large banana leaf

360 gram fresh boned salmon, skin on, cut into 60 portions

12 thin slices peeled ginger

6 snow pea shoots, green part only

6 skewers

chilli salt for sprinkling

Method

1.Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

2.Preheat barbecue flat plate to a medium heat.

3.Cut banana leaf into six squares large enough to wrap around salmon portions. Blanch in boiling water to soften and make pliable. Refresh under cold water.

4.Place each portion of salmon in a banana leaf square and top with ginger slices and snow pea shoots. Drizzle over a little dressing.

5.Fold each banana leaf to form a parcel and skewer to hold closed.

6.Cook on barbecue flat plate for about 10 minutes, until salmon is just cooked – this will depend on the thickness of your salmon portion. It is best served slightly undercooked.

7.To serve – remove skewers and open parcels, sprinkle with chilli salt and serve.
