Addicted to Salmon

This is my most favourite meal of the decade. I make it every two weeks and I have to remind myself to breath or else I will scarf it down in 3 minutes flat.

Coconut Salmon and fresh Salsa served on Basmati rice



Luck for me Clarissa already posted it so I'm just going to post it again

Ingredients:
1 large or 2 small fillet of salmon, deboned, and skinned
3/4 C coconut

2-3 TBS or more fresh cilantro chopped or torn
1/4 C chopped onions
1 Yellow Pepper chopped
1 Red Pepper chopped
1 Green Pepper chopped
1/4 tsp garlic
1 or 2 limes squeezed
2 Big or 4 small chopped tomatoes (perfectly ripe)
diced mango (optional)
salt

If you want it spicy, add your favorite hot pepper.


Directions:
Cut the salmon fillet into smaller chunks. Put the coconut in a large plastic bag. Throw the salmon into the bag and shake. It should coat the salmon. Place on a baking sheet uncovered. Bake the salmon at 425 F until the salmon is done. Maybe 10 mins. If the coconut turns brown in a few minutes turn down the heat. The salmon should turn a nice light pink, the fat should turn white around the edges and a knife tip poked in the centre should feel warm.

For the salsa, chop all the veggies, fruit and herbs, add them to a bowl add the lemon or lime juice and salt to taste. Also try adding corn and black beans or pineapples.

We eat this salsa all the time with everything especially nachos. A big thanks to Debbie who first introduced me to the magic of fresh salsa. Yum Yum Yum!
