This fresh Chilean salsa is all you need to turn a few salmon fillets into a show-stopping barbecue dish. And if you haven't fired up the barbie, it's great in a frying pan, too.

Recipe: Amok-style ling, green bean and spinach curry

A traditional amok is steamed in a banana leaf basket, which can at times test your basket-making abilities more than your cooking. This version gives you all the flavour of banana-leaf cooking without the mess. It's great with steamed rice.
