Ingredients
  

Seafood

  • 4 fillets salmon (1 - 1.5 pounds total)

Spices

  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 - 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon green curry paste

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400˚F and season salmon with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add salmon face down to the skillet. Allow the salmon to sear until it naturally releases from the pan and a golden brown crust has formed. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the garlic, ginger and curry paste to the pan and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, add the curry powder and coconut milk, whisking until smooth.
  • Return the salmon to the pan and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145˚F and the curry sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Remove from oven and allow the salmon and sauce to cool for about 5 minutes. If needed, adjust seasoning to taste with salt & pepper. Serve each salmon filet with extra curry sauce and top with fresh cilantro and green onions.

Notes

This dish is best served with jasmine rice or steamed vegetables.
