½ cup fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium bok choy, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, thinly sliced
6 asparagus spears, cut on the bias into 1-inch pieces
2 cups bean sprouts
4 scallions, sliced on the bias
½ cup fresh mint leaves
1 lime, thinly sliced
1 cup Thai basil leaves (any basil will work)
In an 8-inch sauté pan, place the fish in ½ inch of fish stock with ginger and lemongrass; heat slowly over medium heat and cover. Poach for 3 to 4 minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Remove the fish from the stock with a slotted spoon and allow it to cool on a plate.
Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl (or shake in a jar).
Toss the salad ingredients in a bowl with half the dressing. Divide among 4 bowls.
Place the fish on top of the salad and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Garnish with the lime slices and basil.
