Coconut-Poached Salmon Stuffed Avocados
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons of lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 pound (112g) salmon
- 1 medium radish, finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, minced
- 2 large avocados
- 4 sprigs of cilantro, for garnish
Directions
In a small pot, place the coconut milk, 1 teaspoon lime juice and salt. Chop the salmon and add to the pan, and place over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Stir frequently until the salmon is cooked through, about 2 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces. Remove from heat and transfer the contents of the pan to a large bowl. Let cool.
Add the radish, celery and cilantro to the salmon mixture. Halve the avocados lengthwise and remove the pits. Use a paring knife to score the flesh lengthwise and then across, then use a spoon to scoop the cubes into the bowl. Toss to mix.
Scoop heaping 1/2-cup measures of the avocado mixture into the avocado skins and place each on a serving plate. Sprinkle with more lime juice and serve, garnished with cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
