Salmon Fillet In Coconut Milk Recipes

CREAMY COCONUT-LIME SALMON

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with ½ teaspoon salt. When oil is hot but not smoking, add salmon skin side up. Let sit undisturbed until golden and salmon easily releases from pan, about 4 minutes. Use a thin metal spatula, flip salmon and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Remove to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium and add remaining tablespoon oil and onion to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in lime juice and remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
• Remove from heat and return salmon to pan. Garnish with basil and Fresno chili, and serve with lime wedges.

SALMON COOKED IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Put the fish steaks in a fairly shallow ovenproof dish with a lid, into which they fit quite closely.

• Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2. Put the dish on the center shelf and cook for 40-50 minutes, until the fish is lightly done. To discover this insert a small, sharp knife into the center of one of the steaks - if the flesh is slightly darker pink in the center it will be perfectly cooked. Remove from the oven.
• Before serving scatter the mint leaves on top.
