You'll want to make this every week. It's that good, it's that easy. Sashimi-grade salmon marinated with garlic and lime, served with creamy coconut rice and fresh, vibrant mango salsa. This dish takes fresh and tasty to entirely new level.

Salmon Marinade | Coconut Rice | |
1 lb Sashimi Grade Salmon | 1 1/2 Cups Jasmine Rice | 2 Mangos - Cubed |
1 lime - juice & zest | 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Water | 1-2 Avocados - Cubed |
2-3 Cloves of Garlic -Minced | 1 Can Coconut Milk | 1/4 Red Onion - Diced |
3 Tbs Olive Oil | | 1/2 -1 Jalapeno - Diced |
Salt & Pepper to Taste | | 1-2 Limes - Juiced |
| | 1/2 Bunch of Cilantro - Chopped |
| | Salt & Pepper to Taste |
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!
