Pat dry the salmon well, then slightly brush the skin with some oil and season with salt
Line the air fryer basket with a piece of baking paper then gently place the salmons skin-side up. Air fry on 200℃ for 10 to 12 minutes until the skin gets crispy. Make the Tom yum coconut sauce while the salmon is cooking to save time!
* You can also choose to pan fry the salmon instead of using the Air-fryer
Tom yum coconut sauce
To make the sauce, heat up a small cooking pot on low then add the garlic mince and cook for about 10 seconds until slightly coloured
Add the Tom yum paste and sugar, then keep stirring and cook for 1 minute on low heat. Pour the coconut cream, stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3 - 5 minutes until it gets to a nice thick consistency
Finally, season with salt and white pepper to taste. Turn off heat
To plate, pour the Tom yum coconut sauce into your plates or bowls, then gently transfer the cooked salmon into the middle. Garnish with some chopped spring onions and coriander, then serve with a side of steamed rice. Enjoy!
