COCONUT GINGER POACHED SALMON-1
COCONUT GINGER POACHED SALMON-2

Poaching salmon is a way to infuse flavors into the fish while it is cooking over low heat on the stove. It's also a very quick way to prepare salmon! Serve over cooked White Basmati Rice for a complete meal. If you are following a low-carb or keto diet, then serve over Cauliflower Rice. 

Ingredients
1 pounds wild salmon fillets
1 tablespoons avocado oil
1 small white onion cut into half moons
1 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic crushed
½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 cans coconut milk
½ cups water
1 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoons lime juice
½ bunches curly kale stems removed and chopped
½ cups chopped cilantro

I made this last night and my whole family is still talking about it. It was delicious. Light and flavorful. I had brown rice and brown rice noodles on the side and let everyone build their bowls. I didn't have enough salmon for everyone so I threw some shrimp in there for the last 5 minutes of cook time. It was perfect. And I have a small bowl of leftovers for lunch today.
