EASY PEASY RED THAI SALMON CURRY



Easy Peasy Red Thai Salmon Curry image

Knocked this up for a dinner party last night, as a mild dish. Tasty and quick! This will vary tremendously depending on the curry paste you are using. Taste it first. If it's super-hot, you'll need to reduce the amount unless you want a hot curry. If this is the case, you may need to add in come more flavouring. I've tried successfully with a tin of red thai curry soup if you're going for the easy approach, otherwise add grated ginger, cumin, coriander and a splash of fish sauce and rice wine vinegar. Of course, there's plenty of more complicated recipes out there, and this one's supposed to be easy, so try to go for a curry paste that's tasty but mild. You can always add more chilies to boost the heat!

RED CURRY SALMON



RED CURRY SALMON image

Categories     Fish

Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 25

Marinade
2 tsp Thai red curry paste
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp grated ginger
2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 lb (1 kg) salmon fillet with the skin
Sauce
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tsp grated lime zest
1/4 tsp sugar
Salad
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp lime zest
2 tsp brown sugar
Pinch of dried red chilies
6 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
3 green onions, julienned
1 large carrot, julienned or grated
1/2 cup cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, stir together red curry paste, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice, coconut milk and sugar. Stir in oil. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon in a shallow dish and refrigerate for 2 hours. To make the sauce, stir together coconut milk, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime zest and sugar in a medium bowl. Add remaining half of the marinade mixture to the sauce. Reserve. Preheat oven to 450 F. For the salad dressing, mix lime juice with fish sauce, lime zest, brown sugar and red chilies. Reserve. Toss lettuce with green onions, carrots and cilantro. Place salmon in a metal baking dish and bake for 12 minutes or until juices begin to turn white. Remove from oven. Toss salad with dressing. Divide salmon into individual portions and drizzle it with sauce. Serve with salad on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is fresh, firm, and has a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a dull color.
  • Use a good quality red curry paste: The red curry paste is the key ingredient in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality paste. Look for a paste that is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients and has a good balance of heat and flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the salmon, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the salmon from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to achieve a nice sear.
  • Cook the salmon until it is cooked through: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook the salmon, as this will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream to the top of the salmon for a creamy touch.

Conclusion:

This red curry salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked in a flavorful red curry sauce that is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
