Ingredients:

Salmon Seasoning
4 ea. (6 oz.) Salmon Filet, skin-on
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Pepper
Zucchini- noodles
3 large Zucchini
1 tsp. Olive oil
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Pepper
Cherry tomatoes
1 tsp. Olive oil
1 oz. Cherry tomatoes
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Pepper
2 sprigs Thyme
Salmon
2 tbsp. Olive oil
1 whole Shallots, finely chopped
1 tsp. Ginger, grated
2 ea. Ginger, grated
400 ml. Coconut milk
2 sprigs Thyme
1 pinch Pepper
1 pinch Salt
1/2 ea. Lemon zest
1 ea. Lemon juice
1 tbsp. Basil, chiffonade

Directions:

Step 1

Season fish with salt and pepper, let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Using a mandolin with a large teeth attachment, run the zucchini twice per side or until you reach the inner seeds. Reserve the core for soup or stock. In a medium-hot pan add a little oil then quickly toss the zucchini noodles for 30-1 minute then season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and reserve.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. Poke the ends of the cherry tomatoes with a small knife coat them in a drizzle of olive oil season with salt, pepper, and place in the hot oven to blister the skins for approximately 5 minutes. You want the skins to be curled back but the tomatoes to still have structure. Allow cooling before peeling away the skins.

Step 4

In a large sauté pan, add olive oil over med-high heat. Sear the salmon skin side down until ½ cooked. Remove from pan. Place the shallots, garlic and ginger sauté until aromatic. Add the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer for 2-5 minutes add some thyme and adjust the salt and pepper.

Step 5

Place the salmon into the coconut sauce and scatter the tomatoes throughout. Braise on the lowest heat, covered, until the salmon is lightly cooked throughout approximately 4-6 minutes.

Step 6

Take out the salmon and finish the sauce with lemon zest and lemon juice and shredded basil. Noodles can be tossed in the sauce or plated with the sauce poured over the top. Serve immediately and garnish with more basil.
