Fish

Coconut Rice

Seasonal Vegetables

Lemon Caper Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the steelhead salmon fillets. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Preparation of Coconut Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Preparation of Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Slice the zucchini and bell pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the zucchini, bell pepper, and asparagus until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Preparation of Lemon Caper Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in lemon juice, capers, and chopped fresh parsley. Cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place a generous scoop of coconut rice, top with the grilled salmon, and arrange the sautéed seasonal vegetables. Drizzle with lemon caper butter sauce before serving.
