Salmon Cooked In Coconut Milk
- 4 thick salmon steaks
- 2 1/2 cm piece gingerroot, peeled and cut into small, very thin slices
- 2 large garlic cloves, peeled and cut into small, very thin slices
- 350 g tomatoes, peeled and halved
- 1 fresh red chile, de-seeded and sliced as finely as possible
- 1 small yellow pepper, de-seeded and thinly sliced
- 4 -6 cardamom pods, roughly crushed
- 400 ml tinned coconut milk
- sea salt
- 2 limes, juice of, only
- fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Put the fish steaks in a fairly shallow ovenproof dish with a lid, into which they fit quite closely.
- Scatter the ginger, garlic, tomato, chili and yellow pepper over and around the fish and the cardamom pods in between.
- Empty the coconut milk into a separate bowl, add a good sprinkling of sea salt and gradually stir in the lime juice. Pour the mixture gently over and around the fish and cover the dish.
- Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2. Put the dish on the center shelf and cook for 40-50 minutes, until the fish is lightly done. To discover this insert a small, sharp knife into the center of one of the steaks - if the flesh is slightly darker pink in the center it will be perfectly cooked. Remove from the oven.
- Before serving scatter the mint leaves on top.
