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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with coconut oil or olive oil cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, curry, lemon juice, oregano, and tamari soy sauce. Place the salmon into a nonreactive container or baking dish with a lid, and pour the marinade over the top. Using a cooking brush, baste the salmon with the marinade, cover, and place into the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the fridge, and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake, on middle rack, for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. The salmon should feel slightly firm to the touch.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, curry powder, lemon juice, honey, and tamari soy sauce until well combined. Add the kale, quinoa, and red onion to the bowl and toss gently to coat with the dressing. Flake in the cooked and slightly cooled salmon with fork, and toss to combine.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor and nutrients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. The combination of coconut curry, salmon, and mango is delicious, but you can also try other tropical fruits, such as pineapple or papaya.
- Make sure to cook the salmon properly. It should be cooked through, but not overcooked, otherwise it will become dry and tough.
- If you don't have time to make the coconut curry dressing from scratch, you can use a store-bought dressing. Just be sure to choose one that is made with real coconut milk and curry spices.
- This salad is a great make-ahead meal. You can prepare it up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
This superfood coconut curry salmon salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. Give this recipe a try today and see for yourself how easy and delicious it is!
