CURRIED SALMON BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

CURRIED SALMON WITH MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, serrano, 1/4 teaspoon curry powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the shallot is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the mango, raisins, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 cup water. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring and lightly mashing the mango chunks, until the chutney thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub the top and sides of the salmon with the remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder; season with salt and pepper. Lay the salmon skin-side down in a cold nonstick skillet. Place the skillet over medium heat and cook until the salmon skin is crisp and the fish is almost cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chard stems, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water if the pan is dry.
• Stir the mint and 1/2 teaspoon vinegar into the mango chutney. Season with salt and up to 1/2 teaspoon more vinegar as needed. Divide the chard and salmon among plates. Spoon the mango chutney on top of the fish; sprinkle with more mint.

SALMON CURRY RECIPE

SALMON CURRY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Gently fry salmon pieces until easily flaked with a fork, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Heat remaining oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger; fry until golden, about 7 minutes. Add cumin, garam masala, and turmeric. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add tomatoes; cook until they start to reduce, about 5 minutes. Add water and salt; bring to a boil.
• Return salmon to the pan and reduce heat to low. Simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.

SEAFOOD CURRY

Steps:

• For the curry sauce, whizz the onion and ginger together to a purée. Heat the oil in a large pan until smoking. Add the garam marsala and sizzle for 30 secs, then add the onion and ginger purée, reduce the heat and slowly cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining spices, fry for 1 min, stir in the chilli and fry for another min, then add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt and grind of pepper, and stir well. You can do this way in advance, then just throw the curry together on the night - the sauce will freeze or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• To make the curry, melt a third of the ghee in a large pan. Cook the white fish for 2-3 mins until lightly browned, then set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with the salmon and prawns, adding another third of ghee each time. For the mussels, heat a medium-sized saucepan on a high heat. Add the mussels with 2 tbsp of water, cover tightly with a lid, and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan every so often. Drain and set aside with the other seafood.
• Bring the sauce to the boil, stir the fish and mussels in gently, bring to the boil again, then remove from the heat and leave for 3-4 mins - the fish will finish cooking in the heat from the sauce. Add the coriander leaves and serve with Spiced rice and Carrot & cumin salad (see 'Goes well with' on the right of this page).

SHEET PAN CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND SALMON

Steps:

• Place a rimmed baking sheet in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450˚ F. Toss the cauliflower and potatoes with the olive oil, curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread out the vegetables on the hot pan, cut-sides down, and bake until browned around the edges and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, cucumber, cilantro, 1 scallion, the lemon juice, coriander, red pepper flakes and a big pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir to combine, then refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the pan from the oven and preheat the broiler. Stir the cauliflower and potatoes, then arrange them to create four spots for the salmon. Add the salmon to the pan, skin-side down, and season with salt and the paprika. Combine the chutney and vinegar and spread over the top of the fish. Broil until the salmon is browned around the edges and just cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes, depending on the thickness.
• Spoon some of the yogurt sauce over the salmon. Top with the remaining 2 scallions and cilantro; sprinkle with paprika. Serve with the remaining yogurt sauce.

CRISPY-SKIN SALMON WITH CURRIED YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the salmon: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. With the sharp edge of a knife, scrape the skin back and forth the length of a fillet over and over with light pressure. You will see moisture build up on your knife edge; wipe it away. Continue for about 1 minute, until there's almost nothing to wipe away. Cut a few 2- to 3-inch slits across the middle of the salmon skin. Repeat with the remaining fillet.
• Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle with the oil and set aside until ready to cook.
• For the yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, cilantro, lemon zest and juice, oil, garlic, garam masala and curry powder in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Heat a 9- to 11-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. There is no need to oil the pan, because you oiled the fish. Add the fillets skin-side down, laying them away from you. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Shake the pan until the salmon releases from the bottom of the pan by itself.
• Carefully turn the salmon over and reduce the heat to medium-low so the flesh side cooks more slowly. Cook until a thin-bladed knife inserted into the flesh meets with just a little resistance or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a fillet registers 125 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes (thinner pieces will be done quicker than the thicker ones).
• Serve the fillets topped with some of the yogurt sauce.

SLOW SMOKED CURRIED SALMON WITH CELERY ROOT PUREE AND APPLE AND CELERY ROOT SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the curry paste, soy sauce and juice of 3 limes in a small bowl. Add 3 ounces olive oil and whisk to combine.
• Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper, then pour the curry marinade over the top, coating the fish completely.
• Meanwhile, peel and dice half the celery root. Add to a pot and cover with the milk. Bring to a simmer and season with salt. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes, then drain, discarding the milk. Add the celery root to a blender along with the butter and puree until smooth. Pour back into the pot and keep warm.
• Julienne the other half of the celery root and add to a mixing bowl. Add the apples and the juice of the remaining 3 limes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then fold in the cilantro leaves. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Set up a smoker by adding the wood chips to the bottom of a stovetop smoker or 6-inch hotel pan. Place the perforated smoker insert or a 4-inch perforated hotel pan inside. Add the salmon to the perforated pan and cover tightly with foil. Place the pan on top of two stovetop burners and heat until the chips start smoking. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 135 to 140 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes.
• To serve: Spoon the celery root puree onto a plate. Top with a piece of salmon, followed by the celery root salad on top. Repeat to make 3 more servings.
