Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 13 oz Coconut Milk
  • 1 lb. Atlantic Salmon
  • Thai Basil Leaves

Method
 

  1. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, add 1 can of Coconut Milk. Add 3-4 leaves of fresh Thai Basil. 
  2. Add Salmon to coconut milk just as the milk begins to simmer - do not let milk fully simmer. As the bottom of the fish poaches in coconut milk, occasionally baste the top by spooning coconut milk over the entire surface.
  3. Fish is done when nearly firm to the touch, about 15 minutes.

Notes

If desired, top with a pinch of salt, freshly minced chives and a slight splash of lime juice.
