One-Pot Miso-Turmeric Salmon and Coconut Rice

One-Pot Miso-Turmeric Salmon and Coconut Rice
Julia Gartland for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne.

Recipe by Yasmin Fahr | Total time: 40 minutes

In this layered spinach, salmon and rice dish, a bed of greens layered on simmering coconut rice acts as a steamer basket for the fish nestled on top, allowing it to cook gently. The rice starts cooking while easy-to-eat salmon pieces are coated with savory miso and colorful turmeric. A bit of lime balances the rich flavors. It’s a recipe to play with, depending on whim and what you’ve got on hand: Swap the spinach for chopped chard or kale; stir in preserved lemon for brightness or sliced ginger for a warming kick; or serve with fresh avocado or radish slices.
