Salmon Cooked in Coconut Milk
By JustGreen Dinner, Fish and Seafood Other Cuisine Baking
June 3, 2016
Red chilli, lime, coconut... these are not the ingredients you see me use very often. I used to shun Thai food because the above mentioned ingredients are so common in Thai cooking. Although I am now much more used to these flavours, and embrace the dishes they feature in, I still don't seem to cook with them much at home.
I happened to have a can of coconut milk at home so I started browsing for some ideas on how to combine it with salmon I was planning to cook for dinner that night. I found a perfect recipe that not only compared the two, but used limes which I also happened to have at home!
This is such a fragrant dish, and even if you're not a chilli person (and I'm not), I can guarantee you can handle the heat in this dish because the creaminess of the coconut milk takes away most of it, and leaves just enough to give it a bit of a kick. Served with jasmine rice this is a welcoming change for my kitchen 🙂
