MIKE'S SALMON PARCELS WITH FRESH MANGO SAUCE

Ingredients:     1/2 small leek, about 100g     1/3 cup loosely packed fresh coriander leaves     1 large red capsicum, sliced very thin     1 teaspoon five-spice powder     1/2 teaspoon ground coriander     1 tablespoon grated palm sugar,        (or 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar)     1 tablespoon fresh lime juice     4 salmon fillets, skinned, about 220g each     4 spring roll wrappers, each 21,5cm square     1 tablespoon corn flour     2 teaspoons water     1/3 cup peanut oil     2 good size ripe mangos, about 900g, chopped coarsely     100g red-green coral lettuce

How to do:

    Cut leek into 8cm lengths, halve each peace lengthways,
    Then slice halves into thin strips.
    Combine leek in a bowl with fresh coriander and 1/2 of capsicum.
    Preheat oven to moderate hot (200-210 C , 400-425 F).
 
    Heat small, lightly oiled frying pan, cook five-spice powder and
    Ground coriander, stirring until fragrant.
    Stir in sugar and juice, remove from heat.
   When cool enough to handle, use your fingers to rub 1/2 of the
   Spice mixture into both sides of the salmon fillets.
 
   Place a salmon fillet on bottom half of one spring roll wrapper,
   Top with a quarter of the leek mixture.
   Lightly brush edges of wrapper with blended water and corn flour,
   Roll to enclose salmon, folding in the ends.
   Repeat this section with the other 3 salmon fillets.
 
   Heat oil in large frying pan, cook parcels, in batches, until lightly
   Browned. Place then on oiled oven tray, bake parcels in oven
   For about 8 minutes or until fish is cooked as desired.
 
   Meanwhile, blend or process half of the mango and remaining spice
   Mixture until smooth.
   Combine remaining mango, remaining capsicum and lettuce in
   A large bowl and drizzle a bit balsamic vinegar over it,
  
 
Serving:

   Serve Salmon parcels immediately topped with mango sauce.
    And of course a lovely cool glass of Pinot Gris or Riesling.
 
Tip:

    We like here the FIG BALSAMICO, found at Deli Gourmet shops
    In Panama City. You can prepare the parcels an hour ahead,
    Keeping in the refrigerator covered with a slightly dampened
    Tea towel. NOT in a closed container, please.
