Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 packs of ramen noodles
  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of fish sauce optional
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  • Sear the salmon — Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the seasoned salmon fillets for 3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms, then remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the aromatics — Drop the ginger and garlic into the remaining oil and stir constantly for 30 seconds until the aroma fills the room; do not let the garlic turn dark brown or it will go bitter.
  • Soften the vegetables — Toss in the sliced mushrooms and bell peppers, stirring for 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms start to sweat and the peppers look slightly glossy.
  • Build the liquid base — Pour in the chicken broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, and fish sauce, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer while scraping the bottom of the pot to release the flavorful browned salmon bits.
  • Cook the noodles — Add the ramen noodle blocks to the bubbling liquid and submerge them, simmering for about 3 minutes or until they pull apart easily with a fork.
  • Brighten the broth — Stir in the lime juice and taste for seasoning, adding extra salt or pepper if the coconut milk has muted the flavors too much.
  • Final assembly — Flake the cooked salmon into large chunks and return them to the pot just to warm through, then divide into bowls and garnish with cilantro and extra lime wedges.
