kcalIngredients
1 smashed clove garlic
1/2 thinly sliced small red chile
1 chopped stalk lemongrass (outer layers removed)
1/2 cup Cleansing Broth
1 cup light coconut milk
Two 5-oz skinless wild salmon fillets
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt, to taste
1/2 sliced red onion
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 sliced head baby bok choy
1 cup cooked brown rice, divided
Sliced scallion, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Coconut Broth: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic, sliced red chile, and chopped lemongrass. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the Cleansing Broth and coconut milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced red onion, carrots, and baby bok choy. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
- Bake the Salmon: Place the wild salmon fillets in a baking dish. Season with coarse salt. Pour the prepared coconut broth over the salmon and vegetables. Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Divide the cooked brown rice among serving bowls. Top with the salmon and spoon the coconut broth and vegetables over the top. Garnish with sliced scallions and lime wedges.
