Red Curry Salmon Food

EASY 1-PAN SALMON RED CURRY

Steps:

• First, prep salmon. Ideally, the skin is removed. If not, it can be removed later. Top with salt, coconut aminos, and chili garlic sauce to briefly marinate. Set aside.
• Heat a large rimmed skillet or pot over medium heat. Once hot, add oil or water. Then add shallot, ginger, and serrano pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring frequently, lowering the heat if it begins to burn.
• Add red curry paste and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently (turn down heat if browning or burning). Then add red bell pepper and a pinch of salt and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add coconut milk and stir to combine. Then bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Add coconut aminos and maple syrup, starting with the lesser amount and working your way up to taste. Taste curry and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt to taste, coconut aminos for depth of flavor / umami, maple syrup for balance / sweetness, or curry paste for more intense curry flavor.
• Once you have the curry to your liking, add the salmon (see note below for separate pan/crispier skin option). Cover and cook through (~5 minutes).
• NOTE: If your salmon has the skin on, add the salmon skin side down. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip, peel off skin, and cook through. If you have trouble peeling the skin off, continue cooking; it should peel off once cooked through. For a third cooking option, see notes below.
• In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add the kale, cover, and cook until wilted. Serve as is, or with rice of choice, lime juice, and fresh herbs such as cilantro.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheat on the stovetop or microwave. Not freezer friendly if salmon has been added (as it doesn't reheat well).

SALMON IN THAI RED CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, combine the oil, curry paste, and coconut cream over medium-high heat and fry until the mixture is fragrant and the coconut fat separates, about 2 minutes.
• Next, stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and sugar, and continue cooking until the curry sauce has thickened a little, about 1-2 minutes. While the curry sauce is cooking, taste for the spiciness and the saltiness. Add more curry paste and fish sauce, if desired.
• Add the fish fillets to the pan in a single layer, leaving space between them. Drizzle with the sauce. Turn down the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes. Flip the fish and continue simmering, covered, for another 2 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and easily separates with a fork (internal temperature at least 140F).
• Carefully remove the salmon from the pan and plate, over a bed of rice. Drizzle with the curry sauce from the pan. If the curry sauce becomes too thin due to water leaving the fish, simmer it for a few minutes to thicken a little.
• Garnish with the sliced red Thai chiles, lime leaf strips over the top and serve immediately.
