Salmon & clams + greens coconut soup to warm you up on a chilly winter evening
Quick, easy, nutritious & flavorful
Recipe:
This is a pretty forgiving recipe that allows for variations so feel free to substitute/add based upon what you have available. Some suggestions included below.
Quantities, where included, are based upon 2 large servings so add more/less depending on taste & how many people you are cooking for.
Ingredients: 2 filets wild caught fresh or frozen salmon , 1 can wild caught whole baby clams + the juice, 3 cups organic chicken/fish/vegetable stock, 1 can organic coconut cream or full fat coconut milk , 3/4 medium sized zucchini (green beans), 2/3 Aurora sweet long pepper , kale from @mancelife (collard greens, bok choy, spinach), jalapeños/Thai chiles, 1/2 medium red onion (shallots), 4 garlic cloves , 3” fresh ginger, 1 lime, micro/regular cilantro (Thai basil, lime leaves, parsley, scallions), 1 tsp coconut oil, flaky garlic or kosher/sea salt , lemon pepper seasoning, chili garlic sauce, chili oil & black pepper.
Start by cleaning, chopping & cutting all ingredients since the cooking will be quick: finely chop the onion, garlic & jalapeño, finely slice the ginger & red pepper, roughly chop the kale, quarter & then thinly slice the zucchini. Remove skin from the salmon, cut into 1.5” pieces & salt.
Set aside some slices of pepper, chiles & cilantro, etc. to use as garnish.
Heat up soup pot over medium heat. Add coconut oil. Sauté onions 1-2 min until they start becoming translucent, then add the garlic, jalapeño & ginger. Continue sautéing until fragrant. Add the stock & bring to a boil. Add the coconut milk/cream & bring back to boil. Turn heat down to a simmer & add the zucchini, salmon, clams + juice. Add juice of 1 lime. Season with salt & lemon pepper (to taste). Let simmer until fish cooked, 3-5 min. Add the kale & take off heat. Add chili garlic sauce (to taste) + cilantro.
Ladle soup into bowls & top with garnishes. Serve with slices of lime & chili oil so each can add to desired spice level – mine @q_the_coach
