Coconut Lime Rice with Ginger Honey Glazed Salmon

Benefits:
Salmon delivers anti-inflammatory omega-3s and astaxanthin to deeply hydrate and firm the skin. Coconut milk and lime brighten and nourish from within, while ginger and honey boost circulation, fight oxidative stress, and support a smooth, glowing complexion.

Skin Concern: Inflammation, dryness, fine lines, dullness

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Serves: 2

Ingredients:

For the Coconut Rice:

  • 1/2 cup jasmine or basmati rice, rinsed

  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • Zest of 1 lime

  • 1 tsp lime juice

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

  • Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish

For the Ginger Honey Glazed Salmon:

  • 2 wild salmon fillets

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • Juice of 1/2 lime

  • 1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  • In a saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and salt.
  • Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff with a fork, then stir in lime zest and juice. Top with sesame seeds and garnish with cilantro if desired.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix honey, coconut aminos, ginger, garlic, and lime juice.
  • Heat oil in the skillet, place salmon skin-side down, and cook for 3–4 minutes.
  • Flip, pour glaze over the top, and cook for another 2–3 minutes until cooked through and caramelized.
  • Serve salmon over coconut rice with extra glaze spooned on top.

Shopping Tips:

  • Salmon: Look for wild-caught Alaskan salmon for the best omega-3 content and sustainability.

  • Coconut Milk: Use canned, full-fat varieties with no gums or thickeners.

  • Honey: Raw, unfiltered honey provides more antioxidants and skin-soothing enzymes.

Cooking Tips:

  • Don’t overcook the salmon—remove from heat just as the center becomes opaque.

  • Add steamed bok choy or spinach on the side for extra vitamins and skin support.

  • Make a double batch of the glaze—it works beautifully on shrimp or tofu too.

This tropical-inspired dish is vibrant, deeply nourishing, and designed to give your skin a glow that starts from the inside out.
