Instructions

Creating Coconut Lime Poached Salmon is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Poaching Liquid: In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, minced garlic, and honey. Stir to blend evenly.
2. Heat the Mixture: Set the saucepan over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
3. Season the Salmon: While the poaching liquid heats, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Add the Salmon to the Pan: Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets into the simmering coconut lime broth.
5. Poach the Salmon: Cover the saucepan and let the salmon poach for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove the Salmon: Using a slotted spatula, gently lift the salmon fillets from the poaching liquid and transfer them to a serving platter.
7. Reduce the Sauce (optional): If desired, increase the heat to medium-high and let the poaching liquid reduce slightly for a thicker sauce.
8. Serve with Sauce: Drizzle the warm coconut lime sauce over the salmon fillets.
9. Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro or parsley for an inviting touch.

With these simple steps, you will master this incredible dish that brings the taste of the tropics to your dining experience.
