This easy Thai-inspired salmon coconut curry features tender pan-seared salmon in a creamy red curry coconut milk sauce, creating a super flavorful and comforting dish.

Ingredients

Fresh Salmon:

  • 1 pound fresh salmon

Seasoning:

  • Salt & pepper to taste

For Cooking:

  • 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)
  • 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 and Season Salmon: Cut salmon into 4 pieces, season with salt & pepper.
  2. Cook Salmon: Sear salmon in oil and butter until almost done.
  3. Prepare Curry: Sauté onion, garlic, and curry paste. Add fish sauce, coconut milk, sugar, carrots, broccolini. Simmer until veggies are tender-crisp.
  4. Finish Dish: Add lime juice, return fish to pan, warm through. Season and garnish with basil and cilantro. Serve.

Notes

  • I recommend using Thai Kitchen coconut milk and red curry paste for best results.
  • If you don’t have fish sauce, soy sauce can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will differ slightly.
  • You can customize the vegetable mix in the curry to your preference.
  • Recipe featured in the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials cookbook.
