Coconut Lime Rice
I made up this dish a few days ago, when I decided to make a salmon stir fry. The starting point was my go-to method of preparing rice, i.e. roasting the rinsed rice in some butter, add water and salt, and finish covered for about 15 - 20 minutes.
It came out really great and made an amazing side for the spicy salmon stir fry. Try it out for yourself, it's a great little side dish to have in your repertoire.
