Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the Coconut Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, 1 cup water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Poach the Salmon: In a large skillet, combine water, smashed lemongrass, and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and poach for about 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Fluff the coconut rice with a fork and divide it among plates. Top with the poached salmon, garnishing with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for added brightness.
