Description

A warm, hearty soup featuring silky coconut milk, tender salmon, and vibrant vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk (13.5 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1 shallot (minced)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (from 1 lime)
  • 1 stalk lemongrass (thinly sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1.5 pounds salmon filets (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 red or yellow bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (rinsed and cut into small pieces)
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 limes (quartered)
  • 2 scallions (thinly sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (roughly chopped)
  • 1 jalapeño (thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the vegetable stock, 1 can of coconut milk, ginger, shallot, garlic, lime zest, lemongrass, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes before straining.
  2. Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a stock pot over medium heat, adding onion and peppers, cooking until translucent (4-5 minutes).
  3. Add grated ginger and garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the strained broth and the second can of coconut milk. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, adding broccoli florets during the last 5 minutes.
  5. Add the cubed salmon, turn off the heat, and allow to cook with residual heat. Stir in lime juice and maple syrup, adjusting seasonings as necessary.
  6. Garnish with scallions, jalapeños, and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on medium-low heat.
