Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each) Use fresh, high-quality salmon.
  • 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz) Choose full-fat for creaminess.
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder Adjust according to spice preference.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing.
  • 1 piece onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish For serving.
  • Lime wedges for serving For adding fresh flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk and sprinkle the curry powder over the mixture. Stir well until everything is combined. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the curry sauce. Spoon some sauce over the top of the salmon. Let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Once the salmon is cooked, take it off the heat and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Pair with jasmine rice or coconut rice. Customize with toppings like fresh herbs, lime wedges, or sliced chilies. Ensure not to overcook the salmon.
