Best 7 Salmon And Bok Choy Green Coconut Curry Recipes

CURRY SALMON WITH COCONUT MILK AND BOK CHOY

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium heat, dry-fry mustard seeds until they start to pop just slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, set aside, and allow mustard seeds to cool. To a mortar and pestle or single-serve blender attachment, add all curry paste ingredients and grind or pulse until well-combined. Set aside.
• Cut the salmon into 1-inch x 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
• Prepare Sauce: In the same pan used to prepare the curry paste, heat oil and fry prepared Curry Paste for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it doesn't stick to the pan. Stir in coconut milk, vegetable broth, coconut aminos, fish sauce, tomatoes, and black pepper. Cover pan with lid and cook on medium heat until sauce starts to reduce, about 5-6 minutes.
• To the pan of cooked Curry Paste, add cubed salmon and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, before adding the bok choy and greens beans to cook until slightly wilted and softened, about 1-2 minutes. Add lime juice. Taste mixture and, as needed, adjust seasoning to your preferences. Serve in bowls (optionally: serve on top of steamed cauliflower rice) and garnish with chopped cilantro.

GREEN CURRY SALMON

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.
