Curry Rubbed Salmon With Napa Slaw Food

COCONUT CURRY SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place one of the oven racks close-ish to the top, about 6 inches or so.
• Mix the spices and the olive oil to make a paste. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet. Rub the paste liberally over the top part of the salmon. Bake for 6-12 minutes (depends on salmon thickness and desired doneness - I usually opt for 8-10 minutes). See notes and FAQs for potential broiling issues and alternative methods.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and lemongrass; sauté for 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and curry paste; sauté for 3 minutes. Add coconut milk. Season with fish sauce and lime juice to taste. Add spinach; stir into the sauce until wilted.
• Place salmon over rice. Cover with sauce, lime juice, and fresh herbs.

CURRY RUBBED SALMON WITH NAPA SLAW

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil; add rice. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, mint, lime juice, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss.
• Heat broiler with rack set 4 inches from heat. About 10 minutes before rice is done cooking, place salmon on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Rub salmon with curry, and season with salt and pepper. Broil until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve alongside salad and salmon.

NAPA SLAW

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir sunflower kernels and ramen noodles in hot butter until sunflower kernels are lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer into a bowl to cool.
• Stir sunflower seeds and ramen noodles with napa cabbage and spring onions in a large salad bowl. Whisk vinegar, vegetable oil, sugar, and soy sauce together in a separate bowl until sugar has dissolved; pour dressing over salad and toss.

CURRY-RUBBED SALMON WITH NAPA SLAW

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil; add the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, mint, lime juice, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Toss to combine.
• Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat source. While rice is standing, place salmon on a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet. Rub fillets with curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly; season with pepper. Broil until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Divide salmon and cabbage mixture among four plates. Fluff rice with a fork and serve alongside.
