Curry Salmon With Coconut Milk And Bok Choy Recipes

COCONUT CURRY SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place one of the oven racks close-ish to the top, about 6 inches or so.
• Mix the spices and the olive oil to make a paste. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet. Rub the paste liberally over the top part of the salmon. Bake for 6-12 minutes (depends on salmon thickness and desired doneness - I usually opt for 8-10 minutes). See notes and FAQs for potential broiling issues and alternative methods.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and lemongrass; sauté for 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and curry paste; sauté for 3 minutes. Add coconut milk. Season with fish sauce and lime juice to taste. Add spinach; stir into the sauce until wilted.
• Place salmon over rice. Cover with sauce, lime juice, and fresh herbs.

CURRY SALMON WITH COCONUT MILK AND BOK CHOY

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium heat, dry-fry mustard seeds until they start to pop just slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, set aside, and allow mustard seeds to cool. To a mortar and pestle or single-serve blender attachment, add all curry paste ingredients and grind or pulse until well-combined. Set aside.
• Cut the salmon into 1-inch x 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
• Prepare Sauce: In the same pan used to prepare the curry paste, heat oil and fry prepared Curry Paste for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it doesn't stick to the pan. Stir in coconut milk, vegetable broth, coconut aminos, fish sauce, tomatoes, and black pepper. Cover pan with lid and cook on medium heat until sauce starts to reduce, about 5-6 minutes.
• To the pan of cooked Curry Paste, add cubed salmon and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, before adding the bok choy and greens beans to cook until slightly wilted and softened, about 1-2 minutes. Add lime juice. Taste mixture and, as needed, adjust seasoning to your preferences. Serve in bowls (optionally: serve on top of steamed cauliflower rice) and garnish with chopped cilantro.

SALMON COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces. Pat both sides dry with paper towel and season it with salt & pepper.
• Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes. Prep your carrots and broccolini.
• Cook the salmon, skin-side down, for 5 minutes. Flip it and cook for another 2-3 minutes (the fish should be almost done). If the fish is sticking at any point, give it a little longer to release naturally (don't force it).
• Take the salmon out of the pan and transfer it to a plate. If you don't want to eat the salmon skin, you can easily slide it off before adding the salmon back into the pan.
• Spoon some of the oil out of the skillet so you have about a tablespoon of it left in there.
• Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes (should be getting lightly browned), then stir in the curry paste and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add in the fish sauce, coconut milk, sugar, carrots, and broccolini. Let it gently bubble for about 5 minutes or so. The veggies should be tender-crisp, but you can cook them for a little longer if you prefer.
• Stir in the lime juice, then add the fish back to the pan. Season with more salt & pepper as needed. Let it warm through for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with the basil and cilantro and serve immediately.

COCONUT-MISO SALMON CURRY

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion, ginger and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add miso and cook, stirring frequently, until miso is lightly caramelized, about 2 minutes.
• Add coconut milk and 3 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in salmon, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in spinach and lime juice.
• Divide rice among bowls. Top with salmon curry, basil and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing on top.

ROAST SALMON WITH THAI RED CURRY AND BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Cook bok choy in pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Set aside. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add curry paste and stir 30 seconds. Add coconut milk, chopped lemongrass and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Boil until mixture is slightly thickened and reduced to 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice and 1 tablespoon fish sauce. Set curry sauce aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Cook salmon 2 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake salmon until opaque in center, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bok choy and sauté until beginning to brown in spots, about 4 minutes. Drizzle bok choy with remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce. Bring curry sauce to simmer and ladle onto 4 plates.
• Arrange 1 salmon fillet and 2 pieces of bok choy atop curry sauce on each plate and serve.

SPICY COCONUT-SALMON CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add curry paste; cook 1 minute. Add coconut milk and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Add bell pepper and cover; cook 10 minutes. Add bok choy, cover, and simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, 2 minutes more.
• Season salmon with salt; add to curry. Remove pan from heat and cover. Let stand until salmon is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Gently break up salmon into large pieces. Serve, with lime wedges.

COCONUT-POACHED FISH WITH BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Season fish well with salt. In a large sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, ginger and chile, and cook, stirring often until they become translucent, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
• Add coconut milk, fish sauce and brown sugar, and whisk together until combined and sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer. Add cod fillets and turn the heat down to low. Cover and cook until cod is just cooked through and opaque, about 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully remove the fish and plate in bowls.
• Add bok choy to the coconut milk broth and turn heat to medium-low. Cook bok choy until leaves are wilted and stems are tender, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Divide bok choy evenly alongside the fish and ladle the coconut milk broth over each portion. Top with cilantro, scallions and a good squeeze of lime, and serve with remaining wedges on the side. Garnish with flaky salt, if desired.
