Preheat the oven to 120˚C/gas mark 1/2

For the palm sugar dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside

65g of palm sugar, grated
2 tbsp of fish sauce
1 knob of fresh ginger, 2cm in length, finely grated
sea salt

Season the salmon with sea salt and place on a non-stick or lined oven tray large enough to lay the fillet out flat. Place in the oven for 60-75 minutes, so the salmon cooks very slowly and maintains its bright red colour
