Instructions

Pat the salmon chunks dry and season lightly with a pinch of sea salt. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their aroma.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine with the curry paste. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Carefully add the salmon chunks to the sauce, followed by the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach. Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the spinach has wilted.
Squeeze the lime juice over the curry and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the salmon curry warm over steamed rice or alongside naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

If you have frozen salmon is much easier to dice them into cubes if they are thawed first. If your salmon cubes are frozen, cook them for another 2-3 minutes.
While I prefer curry paste for its deeper flavor, curry powder works well too. Start with the same amount (2 tablespoons) and adjust to taste. Curry powder might need more cooking time to develop its flavors fully.
Keep the heat medium—too high, and you'll end up with splattered curry sauce all over your stovetop.
For creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk. Light coconut milk doesn't give you the same luxurious sauce.
You can switch up the veggies. I frequently leave the tomatoes out and sometimes use baby bok choy instead of spinach. You can also add bell peppers, snow peas, or sliced carrots.
If you're a heat lover, you can easily add red pepper flakes or fresh chilies to kick it up a notch.
