Provided by Ali

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 salmon filets
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
1 red onion, peeled and thinly-sliced
8 ounces baby bok choy, roughly chopped (with light green stalks and dark green leaves separated)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger*
1 to 2 tablespoons green curry paste
1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
zest and juice of 1 large lime
toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, extra lime wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment* or foil. Place the salmon filets on the parchment, brush evenly with 1 tablespoon oil, then sprinkle evenly with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Bake until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 135-140°F*, about 4-6 minutes per half inch of thickness (measured by the thickest part of the filet). You can also test for doneness by inserting a fork or knife in the salmon and twisting it a bit; the fish should be opaque and flake easily. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, as your oven is heating for the salmon, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the chopped light green parts of the bok choy, garlic, ginger and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add in the green curry paste* and sauté for 1 minute, stirring often.
  • Add in the coconut milk, giving it a good stir until the curry paste has evenly dissolved into the sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce nearly reaches a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Stir in the dark green bok choy leaves and the lime juice until combined. Then give the sauce a taste, and season with salt, pepper, and/or extra lime juice as needed.
  • Serve the salmon, veggies and sauce over rice, garnished with lots of fresh cilantro and an extra lime wedge.

GREEN CURRY SALMON RECIPE

Provided by Janet A. Zimmerman

Categories     Entree

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 6-ounce salmon fillets
Pinch freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or more to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons coconut oil, or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons store-bought or homemade Thai green curry paste
1 to 2 makrut lime leaves
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon fish sauce, optional
1 tablespoon diced red bell pepper (red, diced), for garnish
1 tablespoon basil, cut into chiffonade , for garnish
Cooked plain or coconut rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Season the salmon fillets with white pepper and brush with soy sauce. Set aside while you make the sauce.
  • In a small saucepan, heat enough coconut or vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is shimmering, add the curry paste and stir to break up. (Be careful; the paste may splatter.) Add the lime leaves and continue cooking for a couple of minutes or until the paste is very fragrant.
  • Add the coconut milk and stir to distribute the paste in the milk. Simmer the sauce until it has reduced by about a third. Taste and add sugar and fish sauce to balance the flavors if necessary. With the Mae Ploy brand of curry paste, a teaspoon of each enhances the flavor. Cover the pan and keep the sauce warm while you cook the fish. If the sauce becomes too thick or is too spicy for your taste, add a couple more tablespoons of coconut milk.
  • To cook the fish, heat a thick coating of oil in a skillet large enough to hold both fillets without crowding. When the oil is shimmering, carefully place the fish in the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish (3 minutes for 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick fillets; 4 minutes for 1-inch). Turn the fish and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Drizzle with the warm curry sauce and garnish with the bell pepper and basil. Serve with plain or coconut rice. Notes:

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon for its superior flavor and texture. Ensure it's fresh, with vibrant orange-pink flesh and no fishy odor.
  • Prep your salmon: Remove any pin bones from the salmon fillets using a pair of tweezers. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels to prevent splattering during cooking.
  • Use a good quality green curry paste: The green curry paste is the heart of this dish, so choose one that's flavorful and authentic. Look for brands that use fresh herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the salmon, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will ensure that the salmon cooks evenly and doesn't steam.
  • Simmer the curry gently: Once you've added the coconut milk and green curry paste to the pan, bring it to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. This will help the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Add the salmon at the end: Add the salmon fillets to the curry towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Green curry salmon is traditionally served with rice or noodles. Jasmine rice is a good option, as it has a light and fluffy texture that pairs well with the curry.

Conclusion:

This green curry salmon with green beans recipe is a flavorful and satisfying dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection in a creamy and aromatic green curry sauce, and the green beans add a pop of color and freshness. Serve it with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
