Coconut Salmon

By

I got to transform Bluehouse Salmon into this delicious Coconut Salmon dish. Bluehouse Salmon isn’t your typical farm raised fish company. Think of them as a greenhouse but for fish. They raise their salmon happy, healthy and in a way thats truly sustainable. Right here in Miami, Florida! And it definitely shows at how tasty this salmon was in this easy one pot dish. I used fresh ingredients and coconut milk with a dash of asian flare. Which all paired so well with this flaky fresh salmon. #BluehouseSalmon

Notes:
*Add more brown sugar, fish sauce or lime if needed. I like mines on the sweet and salty side. Add a pinch of salt or pepper.
