🐟🥥 Coconut Poached Salmon with Ginger-Lime Broth – Silky, delicate salmon gently poached in a fragrant coconut broth infused with ginger, lime, and fresh herbs.
Light, nourishing, and full of clean, vibrant flavor – the kind of dish that feels like a warm hug with a tropical breeze. 🌿🍋
🍴 Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets (skinless or skin-on)
400ml canned coconut milk
1 cup water or fish/vegetable broth
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 stalks lemongrass (smashed or finely chopped)
1 tbsp fish sauce or soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
Zest of ½ lime
Salt to taste
Fresh cilantro, Thai basil, or mint for garnish
Optional: thinly sliced chili for heat
🍲 How to Make It:
Prepare the broth:
In a wide saucepan, combine coconut milk, water/broth, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat—don’t let it boil.
Poach the salmon:
Add the salmon fillets to the warm broth. Cover and poach gently for 10–12 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
Finish the broth:
Stir in fish sauce, lime juice, and lime zest. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more lime or salt as needed.
Serve:
Gently remove the salmon and ladle the hot broth over it. Garnish with fresh herbs and chili slices for color and heat.
✨ Serving Ideas:
Serve with jasmine rice, steamed greens, or rice noodles. Spoon extra broth over everything—don’t waste a drop of that ginger-lime goodness!
