Preparation
-
Step 1 Prep the produce:
Wash and slice the carrots, bell pepper, and sugar snap peas into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and chili.
-
Step 2 Sauté the aromatics:
In a large saucepan or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and chili, and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Step 3 Cook the veggies:
Add the carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry briefly, just to begin softening.
-
Step 4 Add the broth and coconut milk:
Pour in the fish or vegetable stock and coconut milk. Stir well to combine.
-
Step 5 Add lime flavor:
Toss in the torn lime leaves (or lime zest). Season lightly with salt. Cover and let simmer gently for 5–8 minutes, until the veggies are just tender.
-
Step 6 Add the salmon:
Cut the salmon into bite-sized chunks. Add to the hot soup (but make sure it’s not boiling), and let it gently poach for 2–3 minutes, just until cooked through.
-
Step 7 Finish and serve:
-
Stir in the lime juice and soy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro just before serving.
