- Meanwhile, grate carrots and cucumbers, finely chop tomatoes, and chop green onions.
- Rinse the fish in cold water (2 to 3 seconds under the tap), then drain and pat dry.
- Cover fish with coconut milk and add vegetables.
- Mix and season with salt and pepper.
- Push egg through a sieve or a food mill and sprinkle on top of salad along with chopped green onions.
- Serve with coconut flavored rice, if desired.
