Ingredients

Salmon

  • 1 pound fresh salmon
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Curry

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 heaping tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce (optional but recommended)
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup matchstick cut carrots
  • 1 heaping cup chopped broccolini
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons torn/chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Cut the Salmon: Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces. Pat both sides dry with a paper towel and season with salt & pepper.
  2. Cook Salmon: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the salmon skin-side down for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Remove salmon from the pan.
  3. Prepare Curry: In the same skillet, sauté onion, garlic, and curry paste. Add fish sauce, coconut milk, sugar, carrots, and broccolini. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Finish Dish: Stir in lime juice, return salmon to the pan, and warm through. Season and garnish with basil and cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier curry, you can add more Thai red curry paste to taste.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk rather than light coconut milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness and saltiness of the curry by varying the amount of brown sugar and fish sauce.
