Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and add onion, ginger, red chili, and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add miso and cook, stirring frequently, until miso is carmelized (about 2 minutes.)
  2. Add coconut milk and 1 cup water and bring to low boil over high heat. Cook until liquid is slightly reduced–about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in salmon, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until just cooked through–about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add in spinach and lime juice. Remove dried chili.
  4. You will be serving the salmon over cauliflower rice or rice, depending on whether you are doing grain-free. For the cauliflower rice, sauté the cauliflower in olive oil, adding the spices mentioned, and cook (checking seasoning) until lightly browned (about 15 minutes.) For the rice, cook according to package instructions, bringing the water to a boil and adding the rice and all the spices, covering, and reducing heat to low. At end of either process, remove the spice pods, and serve.
  5. Serve salmon over a bowl of rice, and garnish with cilantro, basil, and a lime wedge.
