Poached Salmon in Coconut Lime Curry

with asparagus / snap peas / basmati rice

Poaching fish in aromatic broth infuses it with flavor and keeps the fish moist and tender. We include an extra step in this version to lightly sear the fish on one side. We find it's worth this extra step to give the fish a bit of texture while still gaining all the benefits of poaching.
Smarts: We used a 12 inch pan to cook 4 servings, which meant that the poaching liquid didn’t completely cover the salmon as it cooked. This kept the light sear on the salmon above the liquid, but don’t worry if you need to use a larger or smaller pan. Either way, you'll have tender salmon and a rich, flavorful cooking liquid to serve over rice.
