Broiled Salmon with Asparagus & Coconut Milk

Broiled Salmon with Asparagus & Coconut Milk

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound salmon
  • olive oil
  • black pepper
  • coconut fat or olive oil
  • 1 onion sliced thin
  • 1" or 2" piece of ginger minced
  • 1 can coconut milk not lite
  • 2 limes one juiced, one for wedges to serve
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 small red pepper
  • 1 bunch scallions sliced for garnish
  • 2 cups edible pod peas
  • fresh dill minced to garnish
  • 1 small red onion minced

Instructions
 

  • Put some oil in a roasting pan to prevent sticking.  Place the salmon skin side down in the pan. Rub on a little oil and pepper on the exposed side. Broil until there is a little crust, about 10 minutes, then reduce oven to 350°F.  Use a knife to check for doneness. I generally serve it while there is still a little translucence deep inside. It may need another 5 minutes to finish.  Meanwhile: Coat the bottom of the soup pot with oil and cook the onion and ginger until it starts to color. Add the coconut milk, juice of one lime, asparagus, and red pepper. Simmer 2 minutes and add the peas. Simmer just a couple minutes. Peas should still have a little crispness.  Place ¼ of the salmon into each soup bowl and ladle the vegetables and coconut milk around each serving. Garnish with minced red onion and dill and lime wedge. (Recipe♦222)
