Health and fertility benefits of Vietnamese Caramel Salmon with Sticky Rice

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and also one of the best sources of vitamin D. Keeping vitamin D levels up is important to women with PCOS.

Ingredients

150 grams (5.5 ounces) superfine sugar
3 large cloves garlic, finely sliced
1 red chile, finely sliced
1 thumb-size piece ginger, peeled and julienned
3 tablespoons fish sauce (preferably Vietnamese)
4 salmon fillets, skinned
2 heads bok choy, halved lengthwise
1 small bunch fresh cilantro, leaves stripped
1 small bunch spring onions, finely sliced and placed in cold water
Sticky rice, for serving

Instructions

Place a large, high-sided frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and 100 milliliters (1/2 cup) water and cook for 5 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally until you are left with a dark caramel. Do not be tempted to stir the mixture. Add the garlic, chile and ginger and mix through. Pour in 50 milliliters (1/4 cup) water and the fish sauce and bring to a steady boil. Add in the salmon fillets and bok choy, turning to coat completely in the caramel mixture. Reduce the heat and cook until the salmon is cooked all the way through, 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and garnish with cilantro and drained spring onion curls. Serve straight away in warmed bowls with warm sticky rice.
