Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

For marinade
1/2 teaspoonfenugreek seeds
2 tablespoons red- or white-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
four 5-ounce pieces salmon fillet with skin
3 bell peppers (preferably different colors)
1 medium onion
4 large garlic cloves
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh gingerroot
2 cups Laxmi's fresh coconut milk or canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste
Accompaniment: cooked white or brown basmati rice

Steps:

  • Make marinade:
  • In an electric coffee/spice grinder finely grind fenugreek seeds and in a small bowl stir together with remaining marinade ingredients. In a shallow baking dish rub salmon fillets all over with marinade. Marinate fillets, covered, at cool room temperature 30 minutes.
  • While salmon is marinating, cut bell pepper into thin strips, thinly slice onion, and finely chop garlic. In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sear fillets until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer salmon to a plate. To skillet add onion, garlic, gingerroot, and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is lightly browned. Stir in coconut milk and salt and bring sauce to a boil, stirring. Add fillets and gently simmer until they are just cooked through and sauce is thickened, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • In another skillet heat remaining tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté bell peppers, stirring, until crisp-tender and lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Serve salmon and sauce over rice, topped with bell peppers.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

Delicious! The coconut milk and tamarind add a unique and flavorful twist to the classic salmon dish. I will definitely be making this again.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but I'm so glad I did! The coconut milk added a creamy richness to the sauce without being overpowering. The salmon was cooked perfectly and flaked easily. I served it with
