Gather @bird's eye chili{4}, @fresh cilantro{0.5%bunch} and @vegetable oil{2%tbsp}.

Pat the @salmon{4} fillets dry and season lightly with salt on both sides.

Whisk the @garlic{5%clove}, chili, @fish sauce{2%tbsp}, @lime{2} juice and @palm sugar{1.5%tbsp} together into a sharp, punchy sauce — it stays raw, not cooked.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high and lay the salmon in skin-side down. Cook undisturbed 4 minutes until the skin is crisp. ~{4%minutes}

Flip and cook the second side 3 minutes more, until just opaque at the thickest point. ~{3%minutes}

Rest the salmon a minute, then wipe out the pan and warm the sauce in it for 30 seconds, just to soften the raw garlic edge. ~{30%seconds}

Spoon the warm sauce generously over the salmon and scatter with cilantro.

Serve over @jasmine rice{300%g} with extra sauce on the side.
