INGREDIENTS :
For 4 servings

• Grilled salmon 1.5 lbs.
• Shallots, peeled and sliced thin 1 cup
• Onion, sliced thin 2 tbsp.
• Mint leaves 1/2 cup
• Toasted raw rice kernels, ground 3 - 4 tbsp.
• Red chili powder 1 - 2 tbsp.
• Fish sauce 1/4 cup
• Fresh lime juice 1/3 cup
• Red spur chili peppers, sliced 2 tbsp.
• Chopped fresh galangal (optional) 3 tbsp.
  

HOW TO:
1. Baste the pieces of salmon lightly with vegetable oil and grill until cooked. Take off heat and let cool.

2. With a fork break salmon pieces into a crumble. Add the rest of the salad garnishes except the fresh lime juice. Toss all the ingredients together, then add fresh lime juice to taste. It should be tart enough at first taste but not overpowering.

3. Spoon this salad over decorative lettuce cups and garnish with fresh mint leaves and julienne red spur chili peppers.
