Thai Red Curry Coconut Sauce For Salmon Recipes

QUICK THAI SALMON RED CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine a couple tablespoons of cooking oil of choice, Thai red curry paste and the coconut cream, (when you open your can of coconut milk, it should be the first thick layer you see) in your wok over medium high heat.
• Once the paste is fragrant, stir in the coconut milk, water, fish sauce and sugar, and add the salmon in a single layer.
• Cook covered for 2-4 minutes, depending on thickness, on medium-low, until it's flaky.
• If using, add the chile, and flip the salmon over, and cook the other side a few minutes until flaky too.
• Stir in the kale until wilted, should only take a minute or two.
• Then sprinkle kaffir lime leaves and red chile on top, and serve with jasmine rice.
• Enjoy!

SALMON IN THAI RED CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, combine the oil, curry paste, and coconut cream over medium-high heat and fry until the mixture is fragrant and the coconut fat separates, about 2 minutes.
• Next, stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and sugar, and continue cooking until the curry sauce has thickened a little, about 1-2 minutes. While the curry sauce is cooking, taste for the spiciness and the saltiness. Add more curry paste and fish sauce, if desired.
• Add the fish fillets to the pan in a single layer, leaving space between them. Drizzle with the sauce. Turn down the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes. Flip the fish and continue simmering, covered, for another 2 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and easily separates with a fork (internal temperature at least 140F).
• Carefully remove the salmon from the pan and plate, over a bed of rice. Drizzle with the curry sauce from the pan. If the curry sauce becomes too thin due to water leaving the fish, simmer it for a few minutes to thicken a little.
• Garnish with the sliced red Thai chiles, lime leaf strips over the top and serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season all over with salt, pepper and sweet paprika.
• Heat coconut oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add the salmon fillets and sear, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, add onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat until fragrant. Add bell pepper, cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato paste and curry paste, cook for 1 minute. Add coriander, cumin and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour broth and bring to a boil.
• Add bok choy, fish sauce and peanut butter. Stir to combine. Pour coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
• Nestle salmon in the sauce. Sprinkle with lemon juice and simmer for 3-5 more minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
• Stir in the basil leaves and serve with rice or some crusty bread. Top with extra red pepper flakes. Enjoy!

SCRUMPTIOUS THAI COCONUT RED CURRY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine 1/2 to Tbsp Red Curry paste (I like it spicy -- so I use 1 Tbsp) with one can of coconut milk. (I use light coconut milk to save calories/fat).
• Simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup fresh basil, 1/4 cup bamboo shoots, 3 tsp Fish Sauce, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/3 cup chicken stock, and 1/2 cup of your favorite mushrooms (I use the Japanese style and shitake). Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
• While you are simmering -- saute the chopped peppers (1 or 2 inch pieces) and chopped onion in a frying pan or wok lightly covered in olive oil. Fry lightly peppered chicken breasts till cooked through.
• Place sauteed peppers and onions on bowls of rice and spoon curry sauce over rice. You can either use curry sauce to lightly flavor rice or more as a soupy type mixture. I use short grain brown rice -- but any type is fine. Add cut chicken breast or other meat/tofu if desired.

THAI RED CURRY / COCONUT SAUCE (FOR SALMON)

Steps:

• Heat sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch and the basil leaves in a small saucepan.
• Taste and adjust to your preferences.
• Just before salmon is done, add cornstarch to the sauce with a small amount of water to make a slurry. Stir until it is glossy and coats the back of a spoon.
• Stack and roll basil leaves like a small cigar. Sliver them cross-wise into narrow ribbons and drop into the sauce.
• Keep sauce warm but be careful not to simmer for a long time.
• Serve sauce over the fish with Jasmine or Basmati rice.

ROAST SALMON WITH THAI RED CURRY AND BOK CHOY

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.
