THAI SALMON CURRY



Thai Salmon Curry image

I made this up being hungry for salmon but not wanting to do the familiar teriyaki routine. The results were delicious and also used up some hot peppers that were ready on my plants. And you can't believe how quick and easy this is to prepare! The hardest part is steaming the rice!

THAI RED CURRY / COCONUT SAUCE (FOR SALMON)



Thai Red Curry / Coconut Sauce (For Salmon) image

This was in my notes listed as "Sauce to serve with grilled salmon" and I have no idea where I got it but it sounds good. I haven't made it but hope to one day! Maybe you'll beat me to it! Just take salmon and rub with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil and serve with this flavorful sauce.

EASY PEASY RED THAI SALMON CURRY



Easy Peasy Red Thai Salmon Curry image

Knocked this up for a dinner party last night, as a mild dish. Tasty and quick! This will vary tremendously depending on the curry paste you are using. Taste it first. If it's super-hot, you'll need to reduce the amount unless you want a hot curry. If this is the case, you may need to add in come more flavouring. I've tried successfully with a tin of red thai curry soup if you're going for the easy approach, otherwise add grated ginger, cumin, coriander and a splash of fish sauce and rice wine vinegar. Of course, there's plenty of more complicated recipes out there, and this one's supposed to be easy, so try to go for a curry paste that's tasty but mild. You can always add more chilies to boost the heat!

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1 large onion, diced
1 (200 ml) can coconut milk
4 skinless salmon fillets, cubed
200 g green beans, topped and tailed
1/2 a lime, juice of
1 teaspoon salt
1 large handful coriander, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Put the oil and Thai curry paste in a large pan and heat through. Add the onion and cook until softened.
  • Pour in the coconut milk and bring to the boil. Add the salt and lime juice. Taste - this is where you'll need to use your imagination if the curry paste wasn't as tasty as you'd hoped! If necessary, add more ginger, spices etc as mentioned in the description above, or a can of Thai red curry soup.
  • Reduce to a simmer and add the beans and salmon. Simmer very gently for five minutes until the salmon is just cooked.

Tips:

  • Use fresh salmon fillets. Fresh salmon will have a brighter color and firmer texture than frozen salmon. If you are using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe uses bell peppers, carrots, and onions, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include broccoli, snap peas, and baby corn.
  • Adjust the curry paste to your taste. If you like spicy food, you can add more curry paste. If you prefer a milder curry, you can use less curry paste.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles. Thai salmon curry is traditionally served with rice, but you can also serve it with noodles or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Thai salmon curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover salmon. With its flavorful curry sauce and tender salmon, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
