Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1.5 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat and prepare all ingredients.
- Heat olive oil, then sauté garlic and shallot until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Add corn and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Nestle the salmon fillets into the simmering broth. Spoon liquid over the top.
- Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
