SPICY SALMON & COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• 1. Place the chilli, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, salad onions and coriander in a food processor and blitz, scraping down the sides of the bowl using a spatula in between each process until you have a coarse paste. 2. Heat the groundnut oil in a non-stick frying pan and season the salmon with a little sea salt. Cook the salmon fillets for about 1-2 minutes each side over a high heat until cooked through and beginning to brown. Set aside. 3. Add the chilli and coriander paste to the frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, then tip in the tomatoes, rinsing out the can with half a can of water and adding this to the sauce. Stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice and green beans and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring regularly until the sauce is reduced and thickened, and the beans are tender. 4. Cut the fish into large pieces and return to the pan to cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Serve with jasmine rice and extra coriander on the side, to taste.

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.

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.

INDIAN SALMON FISH

• Add oil into the same pan over medium high heat. Add the mustard seeds and curry leaves.
• Once the mustard seeds crackle, add the onions, salt and cook for 5 minutes before adding the garlic, ginger and green chilli.
• Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, chilli powder and black pepper. If the pan is dry, add a splash of water. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes before adding the tomatoes.
• Cover the pan with a lid and turn the heat down. Simmer the tomatoes for 15 - 20 minutes until the oil seperates at the sides.
• Add the garam masala or curry powder and cook for 2 minutes before adding the coconut milk.
• Stir through and add the salmon back in to the pan. Cover and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the lemon.
