seared salmon on coconut spinach

recipe by donna hay - off the shelf, cooking from the pantry.
i highly recommend this recipe....not only was it super easy to make, but it's absolutely delicious!



4 x 180g (6 oz) salmon fillets
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 small red chillies, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons asian chilli paste
2 cups coconut cream
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 bunches spinach, stems removed

place the salmon in a shallow dish with the ginger, sesame oil and soy. allow to marinate for 10 minutes on each side. heat a frying pan over high heat and cook the salmon for 1 minute on each side. (personally, if i'm cooking fish for dinner, i like it to be cooked all the way through, so i did about 3-4 minutes per side.)

to make the coconut spinach, place the garlic, chillies and chilli paste in a saucepan over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes. add the cocnut cream and lemon juice and simmer for 4 minutes. add the spinach and toss until wilted.

to serve, place some spinach on each plate and top with a piece of salmon. serves 4.
