Poached Salmon in Coconut Lime Sauce
Tuesday, August 6, 2019
Poached Salmon made exotic with a simple, amazing Coconut Lime Sauce!! Tastes like a Thai coconut curry sauce – but it’s quick and easy. The trick is to caramelise garlic, ginger and lemongrass with a smidge of sugar before adding the coconut milk. It’s incredible what a difference it makes!
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets , 180g/6oz each preferably skinless (Note 1)
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp oil , separated
2 garlic cloves , finely grated
2 tsp ginger , finely grated
1 lemongrass , peeled, finely grated (Note 2)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp chilli garlic paste or other chilli paste, adjust to taste (Note 3)
400 g/14oz coconut milk (Note 2)
1 tbsp fish sauce (or soy sauce)
2 tsp lime zest (1 lime)
Lime juice , to taste
GARNISH/SERVING:
Fresh coriander/cilantro leaves , finely chopped (recommended)
Finely sliced large red chillies (optional)
Vermicelli noodles , soaked per packet, or rice
Steamed Asian greens
Instructions
Sprinkle both sides of salmon with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non stick pan or well seasoned skillet over medium high heat. Add salmon, skin side up, and sear for just 1 1/2 minutes until golden. Turn salmon and cook the other side just for 1 minute, then remove onto a plate (should still be raw inside).
Turn heat down to medium low and allow skillet to cool.
Heat remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add garlic, ginger and lemongrass. Cook until garlic is light golden ~ 1 minute.
