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.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
- Choose the Right Salmon: For the best results, use a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet. Look for fish that is firm and bright in color.
- Cook the Salmon Properly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. To prevent it from overcooking, use a gentle heat and cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
- Make the Curry Paste from Scratch: If you have the time, making your own curry paste is a great way to add flavor and depth to your dish. However, if you're short on time, you can also use a store-bought curry paste.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: This recipe calls for bok choy, but you can also use other vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers, or snow peas.
- Serve with Rice or Noodles: This dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles. However, you can also serve it with quinoa or your favorite grain.
Conclusion:
This delicious and easy-to-make recipe is a great way to enjoy salmon. The Thai red curry sauce is flavorful and aromatic, and the bok choy adds a refreshing crunch. Serve this dish with rice or noodles, and you'll have a meal that the whole family will love.
