Salmon with shrimps in a miso coconut sauce. This recipe will satisfy your comfort food cravings with its brothy miso coconut sauce. It’s light, delicate, comes together in less than 30 minutes and we cook everything in only one pan. An amazingly delicious dish with just the right amount of spiciness. Try it and you won’t regret it.
We cook the shrimp and salmon separately before adding them together to the sauce, because of theirs different cooking times. While it adds an extra step, this keeps both the shrimp and the salmon moist.
We use coconut milk to create a rich sauce that goes really well with seafood. At the end we whisk in miso, add a twist of lime juice and some fresh herbs to keep this dish bright and citrusy. We finish it off with a splash of sesame oil and some chili flakes.
To spice it up, we add a teaspoon of sriracha. Adjust the heat to your liking—use one teaspoon for mild heat, two for medium, and four if you don’t mind some sweat beading on your forehead. Let me walk you through making this coconut miso salmon, step by step in this video.
