Instructions
- Slice one orange. Zest and juice the other orange and place both in a large skillet. Add the coconut milk, coco aminos, ginger, fish sauce, garlic, and lime juice to the skillet. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the salmon. Simmer very gently (see notes) for about 6-7 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque. At the first hint of white forming on top of the salmon, remove it from the heat.
- Serve the orange coconut poached salmon with some orange slices, cilantro, and if you'd like some heat, some chili flakes.
Notes
- When you're poaching fish, keep the temperature very low. Ideally, there should be only a few bubbles rising in the pan.
