They always have really good samples and recipes and this was one that Josh got to try that he loved. It's ginger-tomato salmon with coconut jasmine rice and if you want to see the original recipe click the link.
I made a change and didn't buy the ginger spice paste. We are not at all a fan of ginger and I was afraid the taste would be overwhelming. I only added some ground ginger instead. I also just used normal white rice since we didn't have any jasmine rice. We were surprised that the girls actually really enjoyed this dish too! They both love salmon but I was afraid the coconut rice would be a little "weird" for them but they both ate it!
Ginger-Tomato Salmon with Coconut Rice
Ingredients for fish: 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
1 cup of chicken stock 1 cup of coconut milk
4 medium sized fillets of salmon (our salmon had the skin still on one side)
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can of petite diced tomatoes (we didn't drain our can)
For rice: 1 cup of white rice
1 1/4 cups of chicken stock
3/4 cup of coconut milk
1 teaspoon of olive oil
1/4 cup of diced green onion
salt to taste
1. Start cooking rice first since it takes longer than the fish to cook. Add chicken stock, coconut milk, and olive oil to a medium saucepan.
2. Bring to boil and add rice, stir, reduce heat to low and cover pot. Let simmer for 18-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
3. Once rice is simmering add the garlic, ground ginger, chicken stock, and coconut milk to a large saute pan and heat over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over salmon and then add fish to saute pan along with the can of diced tomatoes. 5. Cook fish 8-10 minutes, during this time we decided to turn our fish over in the pan once to make sure it was cooking evenly. Keep checking the salmon to be sure you are not overcooking it.
6. Once rice is done fluff with fork and add 1/4 cup of green onions and stir.
7. Serve rice on a plate with salmon on top, use some of the sauce from the salmon to cover the rice too.
After I took a picture of my plate the girls told me to take pictures of their plates too. They ate their meal with a side of watermelon.
For both of them I chopped up their salmon and served it over their rice.
Looks like something my husband would love!
