A rich and flavorful dish featuring seared salmon fillets simmered in a creamy coconut curry sauce with a touch of garlic butter for added depth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for garnish
  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets skin-side down for 3–4 minutes per side, or until nearly cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in red curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in coconut milk, fish sauce (if using), lime juice, and brown sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Return salmon to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for another 3–5 minutes, or until cooked through.
  7. Serve salmon over jasmine rice, spoon sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Use light coconut milk for a lighter version of the dish.
  • Adjust curry paste to control spice level.
  • Pairs well with steamed vegetables or naan bread.
