SALMON WITH GINGER & GREEN ONIONS
Found this in a Good Housekeeping magazine under "good health". We love Salmon and thought this sounded good. Haven't tried it yet, but will once the Salmon start to run again. It sounds pretty simple and quick, yet a nice blend of flavors. Edited to say I fnally got around to making this. Wonderful blend of flavors, but must say I could not bring myself to nuke DH's fresh caught salmon so grilled it on a cedar plank and brushed the marinade over it. The left over marinade we poured over the salmon and noodles when serving a turned out great.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are prepared and measured. This streamlines the cooking process, preventing scrambling during cooking.
- Rice Selection: Opt for long-grain rice, preferably basmati or jasmine. Their distinct flavors and separate grains enhance the pilaf's texture and taste.
- Sautéing Aromatics: Sautéing onions and garlic in butter adds depth and flavor to the pilaf. Ensure they are translucent yet not browned for optimal flavor infusion.
- Toasting Rice: Toasting the rice briefly in butter before adding liquid enhances the nutty flavors and prevents it from becoming mushy.
- Cooking the Pilaf: Use a combination of water or broth and coconut milk for a flavorful cooking liquid. Coconut milk imparts a unique creaminess and richness to the pilaf.
- Seasoning: Freshly ground black pepper, salt, and a hint of turmeric add subtle flavors and enhance the overall taste of the pilaf.
- Cooking Time: Cook the pilaf until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender yet slightly firm to the bite. Overcooking can result in mushy rice.
- Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle chopped green onions and toasted almonds over the pilaf. This adds a vibrant color, freshness, and a nutty crunch, elevating the presentation.
- Serving Suggestions: Salmon pilaf pairs well with grilled or baked salmon, flavorful roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad. Adjust the quantity of salmon and vegetables according to your preferences.
