Thai Salmon Soup with Lemongrass and Galangal

This is an impressively elegant soup that will not be out of place in a fancy party, yet super easy and really fast to prepare. Sure it can get a bit pricey with the salmon, but you can always use other fish of your choice, or even shrimps! ;)

    Delicious and easy. One of my favorite salmon recipes. The broth cooked down very quickly so I suggest checking the level several times to avoid over-cooking the fish and burning the sauce.
