Kid-friendly salmon curry
Description
The salmon curry begins by skinning and dicing boneless salmon into bite-sized pieces. A spice paste is prepared by blending fresh tomato, garlic, onion, and ginger with ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric for gentle flavor. The spice paste is sautéed briefly in oil to develop aroma before adding coconut milk to form a smooth sauce.
The diced salmon is then added to simmer gently in the sauce, allowing it to cook fully without breaking apart. Lemon juice and a small amount of water are added to adjust the sauce consistency, aiming for a light, creamy curry that complements rice well and is suited for children due to its mild seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon boneless
For the spice paste
- 1 tomato
- 1 clove garlic or 2 if small
- ½ onion
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh, grated/minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
To make curry
- ½ tablespoon neutral cooking oil vegetable, canola, generic cooking oil
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water or more, as needed
Instructions
- Remove skin from the salmon and cut into bite-sized dice.
- To make the spice paste, roughly dice the tomato, peeled garlic and onion. Put them in a small food processor or blender along with the ginger, cumin, coriander and turmeric. Blend until smooth. This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated (as can the diced salmon).
- When ready to cook, warm the oil in a medium skillet/frying pan over a medium heat and add the spice paste. Cook for a couple minutes until it darkens a little and bubbles.
- Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer then reduce the heat. Add the salmon and allow it to cook in the sauce. Don't stir too much to avoid breaking up the fish.
- Add the lemon juice and a little water as needed to thin the sauce slightly - you want it to be a bit runny but not too thin. Serve over rice.
