Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter divided
  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each, thick cut works best
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 shallots sliced or chopped
  • 1 –2 jalapeños chopped (seeded if you prefer less heat)
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons lemon thyme optional
  • 1 ½ cups full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce tamari, or fish sauce
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup fresh basil torn

For the Avocado Mango Salsa:

  • 2 avocados diced or sliced
  • 1 cup mango chunks
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice + zest
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

Start the salmon

  • Preheat the oven to broil. Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a baking dish. Set the salmon fillets on top and drizzle with honey. Season generously with salt and pepper. Broil for about 5 minutes, until the tops are lightly crisp.

Add flavor and sauce

  • Reduce oven heat to 400°F (200°C). Remove the salmon and add garlic, shallots, jalapeños, ginger, and thyme to the dish. Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce (or alternative), and lime juice. Stir gently to combine. Dot the salmon with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the salmon is cooked to your liking.

Make the salsa

  • In a bowl, combine avocado, mango, lime juice, lime zest, and cilantro. Toss gently.

Serve

  • Spoon the salmon and coconut-lime sauce over bowls of rice. Top with avocado mango salsa and plenty of fresh basil.
