Pan frying salmon

In this particular recipe the salmon is left to marinate in fish sauce. It is then dried (in air, for up to a day) prior to cooking. The drying process is the key thing in obtaining a crisp skin that does not stick to the pan.

Congo potatoes

These were from a grocer in Mt Lawley (opposite Antonio's, the Italian small good shop) on Beaufort St. I think they were grown in the Atherton Tabletop, which is in Queensland. At $6 per kilo they are not cheap, and being purple on the inside, you can bet that your kids will refuse to eat them. . .
