Coconut Lime Poached Salmon is a refreshing and flavorful dish that combines the richness of coconut milk with the zesty brightness of lime, creating a delightful meal that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, ginger, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in the saucepan, skin-side down. Make sure the fillets are submerged in the coconut-lime mixture.
  3. Heat the saucepan over medium heat until the liquid begins to simmer gently. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the salmon poach for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Carefully remove the salmon from the saucepan and place it on a serving plate.
  5. Spoon some of the coconut-lime sauce over the salmon and garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the coconut-lime sauce.
  • Serve the poached salmon over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.
