Coconut Curry Salmon

Ingredients


















Method


  • 1Pat salmon fillets dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down (if applicable) for 3-4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove salmon and set aside.


  • 2In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then sauté grated ginger, minced garlic, and red curry paste for 1 minute until fragrant.


  • 3Pour in coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add the sliced red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and bell pepper is tender-crisp.


  • 4While the curry simmers, prepare the mango salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño. Toss gently and set aside.


  • 5Gently return the seared salmon fillets to the curry sauce, nestling them in. Add the fresh spinach, cover, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the spinach has wilted.


  • 6Serve the Coconut Curry Salmon immediately over steamed jasmine rice, garnished generously with the fresh mango salsa.

Notes


  • For an extra kick, leave some seeds in the jalapeño for the salsa or add a pinch of red chili flakes to the curry.

  • If fresh mango is unavailable, canned mango slices (drained and diced) can be used, though fresh is preferred for texture and flavor.

  • Serve with jasmine rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
