Coconut Poached Salmon with Swiss Chard
Because poaching locks in flavor and moisture, it’s one of our favorite ways to cook salmon. Here, salmon soaks up an aromatic broth of coconut milk and lemongrass, a citrusy herb commonly found in Thai cooking. Swiss chard adds a balance of earthy sweetness.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
