Salmon Coconut Soup
Salmon coconut soup is easy to make for a weeknight dinner. It's nice and bright with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces salmon cut into cubes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 Tablespoon ginger minced
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- 2 cups vegetable broth or stock
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 15 ounces canned coconut milk (1 can)
- 1 lime
- fresh herbs, like cilantro or basil optional
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients. Dice the onion, mince 2 cloves of garlic, and peel and mince (or grate) 1 Tablespoon of ginger.
- Skin the salmon, if needed, and remove any bones. Pat dry with paper towels, and cut into cubes about 1 inch thick.
- To a large pot, add olive oil and cook until hot over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add vegetable broth and red pepper flakes. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to medium-high. Add salmon and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add coconut milk and 2 big handfuls of baby spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted.
- Squeeze lime into soup.
- Plate, and top with fresh herbs. Serve with more lime wedges, if desired.
Notes
- I love serving this with some cooked rice. You can also serve with quinoa or another cooked grain.
- This soup can be customized in so many ways. If you want more of a curry flavor, add some curry powder. You can also add a dash of turmeric or smoked paprika for additional spices.
- The lime juice adds a nice brightness and acidity to the soup. I highly recommend. However, you can also add a squeeze of lemon juice if that is what you have in your house.
