Ingredients
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets
- 1 large onion ( chopped )
- 1 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 stalk rosemary
Instructions
- Wash salmon filets and place salmon on a paper-towel lined plate to dry for 5-10 minutes per side. Season salmon with salt and pepper, flip over and season the next side with salt and pepper
- Pour oil in a large pan/skillet. Heat over high heat. When hot, add salmon skin side down. Cook 4-5 mins, until skin is crisp. Flip and cook other side, about 4 mins, until salmon registers about 120 F. Cook longer if you desired, but remember fish continues to cook a little after you remove it from the pan.
- Remove salmon from pan and set aside. In the same pan add onions and cook about 3 minutes, until tender. Pour in coconut milk and parmesan, juice from 1 lemons (start with 2 Tbsp, then add more if you love lemon) and rosemary, then stir to combine. Taste sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Remove from the heat, then return salmon filets to the pan.
- Serve immediately with your favorite veggies or whatever you desire.
