Poached Salmon with Coconut Dill Sauce


I know it has been awhile since we posted, but if you have seen me you would know that we haven't stopped eating. I had these steaks for a week or so and while it is a far cry from the Sockeye we brought back from Seattle, this is a fun dish Dad and I put together back in the Dutch oven.

INGREDIENTS
  • 3 lbs Salmon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Dill -sprinkled liberally on top
  • 2 limes (halved and juiced)
  • ½ C White Wine (substitute= ¼ c white vinegar)

Coconut Sauce:

  • 2 cans 12oz Coconut Milk
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • 1 lime (halved and juiced)
    salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Poach Salmon at 425 degrees for 15-25 minutes:

  • Line baking tray with foil
  • Center salmon on foil
  • Salt and Dill the salmon
  • Squeeze 2 limes over fish
  • Set the juiced peel to the side of the fish
  • Add white wine (or vinegar) to the fish
  • Close up the foil, crimp the ends
  • Bake
  • After the meat is flaky, it is ready (soft and mushy=not ready). This varies due to the thickness of the steak.
  • Once poached, drain out the liquid from the tray into a sauce pan ans seal up salmon again.
  • Add 2 cans of coconut milk to the sauce pan.
  • Squeeze last lime’s juice into sauce
  • Add 2 tbs sugar
  • salt to taste
  • Heat up until sauce is smooth
  • Pour sauce over salmon.

RICE SIDE

In rice cooker, add Chicken Broth instead of water.
Also add:

  • 1 tbs parsley
  • 2 tsp garlic pepper
  • 4 oz Butter (half stick)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Cook Rice as Normal

Enjoy!!

All due; but I have to disagree. I'm a fish guy and love the Salmon w/ Coconut dill sauce. It's like mustard on a pretzel... match made in heaven!
