Description

Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor, this Coconut Salmon Curry is a weeknight hero! With tender chunks of salmon simmered in a fragrant coconut curry sauce, it’s comforting, satisfying, and ready in just 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) skinless salmon fillets, cut into chunks

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger

  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce

  • Juice of ½ lime

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

  • Cooked rice, for serving


Instructions

  • Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 1 minute.

  • Build the sauce: Add red curry paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir well.

  • Simmer the salmon: Add salmon chunks. Simmer gently for 10–12 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

  • Season & serve: Taste and adjust salt. Serve hot over rice and garnish with cilantro.

Notes

  • Swap salmon with shrimp or tofu for variety.

  • Add spinach or bell peppers for extra veggies.

  • Use light coconut milk for a lower-fat version, though full-fat adds more creaminess.
