Description
A simple yet flavorful dish featuring salmon glazed with honey butter served alongside creamy coconut rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (fresh, skin-on or skinless)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably jasmine or basmati)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for extra creaminess)
- Fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley, for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add honey and stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

- In a separate pot, warm the cooked rice with coconut milk over low heat until creamy and smooth.
- To serve, spoon coconut rice onto plates, place salmon on top, drizzle with remaining sauce, and garnish with herbs and lime wedges.
