Fragrant Thai Style Steamed Salmon Block

Comes to steamed fish sauce, this Thai Garlic Sauce is always my favourite when I like something sourish, sweet, spicy and fragrant.  It is also so easy and simple yet the result is awesome and very appetizing.

Salmons blocks were sold at the supermarket at quite reasonably priced  [RM 25.00/kg] before Christmas.  Certain times, it could be cheaper than this. Bought some to steam them with the fragrant and tasty garlic dressing that costs only RM 5.00.

This time I added some chopped lemongrass and the sauce was so good, very tasty especially when the fish was fresh.

Very appetising dish and sauce was so good with rice.
