Savory Creamy Salmon Coconut Curry Delight

Creamy Salmon Coconut Curry made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillets
  • 1 can 14 oz coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare your ingredients by dicing the onion, slicing the bell pepper, and mincing the garlic and ginger.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the red curry paste and mix well, continuing to cook for about a minute.
  • Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
  • Gently add the salmon fillets and sliced bell pepper, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
  • Add the lime juice and fish sauce. Stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt into the sauce.
  • Cook for 10-12 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the spinach has wilted.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more fish sauce or lime juice according to preference.
  • Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, over a bed of steamed rice or alongside crusty bread.
