METHOD:


For the Salmon:


STEP 1: Combine the zest and juice of 1 lime with 2-3 cloves of minced garlic and 3 Tbs of olive oil and salt and pepper. Marinate the sashimi-grade Salmon for 30 minutes.


STEP 2: Lightly spray fry pan with non-stick oil and heat on med-high. Sear the Salmon skin side down for 3 minutes or until skin is crispy. Flip and sear an additional 2-3 minutes or until cooked to your liking. (We love crispy skin and rare in the middle with quality salmon!).


For the Rice:


STEP 1: While the Salmon is marinating, start the rice. If using a rice cooker, Add 1.5 cups of jasmine rice, 1.5 cups of coconut water, and 1 can of coconut milk to the rice cooker and cook on white rice setting. That's it! If cooking over the stovetop, combine all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan and bring to a full boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until liquid absorbs (about 20 minutes). Then fluff with a fork, let rest for 5 min, serve, and enjoy!


For the Mango Salsa:


STEP 1: Chop all ingredients and place into a medium size bowl. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste and mix gently to combine. Enjoy!




For the plating, we used a ladle to shape the rice into a half-sphere and garnished with a sprig of cilantro and a couple black sesame seeds. The salmon was sliced about 1/2 an inch thick with a crusty sear and tender inside. The mango salsa was plated sparingly for looks, with more added to every bite!
