Add coconut milk and 3 quarts water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Add salmon and cook for another 10 minutes, until salmon is fully cooked and vegetables are soft. Serve immediately.

Chef Tips

Romanesco is a pale green, rather extraterrestrial looking cousin of cauliflower. You often see it in farmers’ markets in the late summer and fall. If you can’t easily find it, sub in white or orange cauliflower.

If you have to open a 14oz can of coconut milk to make this, freeze the rest in a ziplock for another use.
