Gather @red chili{1} and @black pepper{0.5%tsp}.

Season the @salmon{600%g} pieces with a little of the @fish sauce{3%tbsp} and pepper; set aside 10 minutes. ~{10%minutes}

Melt the @sugar{3%tbsp} with a splash of @water{100%ml} in a skillet over medium heat, without stirring, until it turns the color of dark tea. ~{4%minutes}

Immediately add the @ginger{30%g} and @garlic{3%clove} and stir 30 seconds in the caramel.

Nestle in the salmon, add the remaining fish sauce and the water, and bring to a gentle simmer.

Cook uncovered 10–12 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish now and then, until it reduces to a dark glaze. ~{12%minutes}

Scatter with chili, @spring onion{2} and the remaining pepper and serve with rice.
