Ingredients

  • 2 (14-oz) cans full-fat coconut milk divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper cored and cut into matchsticks
  • 1 large crown broccoli chopped into florets
  • 3 Tbsp red curry paste *
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce optional
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 (.75 to 1 pound) salmon filet chopped into cubes
  • 5 to 8 fresh basil leaves chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat ¼ cup of coconut milk in a Dutch oven or thick-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the garlic and ginger. Sauté, stirring frequently, until very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the carrots, bell pepper, broccoli, remaining coconut milk, red curry paste, and fish sauce. Stir well to combine. Cover and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat to a gentle bubble, and continue cooking, covered, about 5 minutes.
  3. Trim the salmon skin off the salmon filet using a sharp knife, and chop salmon flesh into bite-sized cubes.
  4. Add the chopped salmon to the pot with the curry and stir well. Cover and continue cooking for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove cover and increase the heat to a full (but controlled) boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until curry has thickened, about another 5 to 10 minutes. Note: If you prefer a thinner curry sauce, add 1/3 to ½ cup of chicken broth (or any broth or stock).
  6. Serve the red curry salmon with chopped fresh basil and your choice of steamed rice or cauliflower rice.

Notes

  • *Swap out the red curry paste with green curry paste, yellow curry paste, or Panang curry paste if you'd like.
