Ingredients

4 5- to 6-ounce wild-caught salmon fillets

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

zest and juice of 2 limes

1 fresh pineapple, cored and cut into rings

1 teaspoon canola oil

1 small jalapeno, seeds and core removed, and finely minced

Green Tea Coconut Rice

Ingredients

2 cups brown jasmine rice

1 cup water

2 cups coconut milk

1 teaspoon salt

1 green tea bag

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Sprinkle coconut flakes on a large cookie sheet. Toast coconut for 7 to 10 minutes, tossing gently periodically, or until coconut flakes turn a light brown. Keep a close eye on the coconut, as it can burn easily.

In a large pot, bring water, coconut milk and green tea bag (tie green tea bag to the side of the pot for easy removal later) to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt.

Add jasmine rice and bring back to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 40 minutes.

Remove rice from heat with the lid on, and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove green tea bag, and fluff rice with a fork.

Sprinkle with toasted coconut, and stir to combine.
