Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. salmon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (more for a larger filet)
1-2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small knob of ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon of lemongrass paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 can coconut milk
2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
lots of lime juice and zest
3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
cilantro, basil, mint, or other fresh herbs

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.

SPICY COCONUT-SALMON CURRY

Spicy Coconut-Salmon Curry image

This easy riff on a Thai staple gets big flavor from four basic ingredients: curry paste, coconut milk, yellow bell pepper, and bok choy. It's even heartier ladled over short-grain brown rice or Asian noodles.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 piece fresh ginger (1 inch), peeled and thinly sliced
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 heads baby bok choy, trimmed and cut crosswise into 1-inch slices
2 frozen wild-salmon fillets (each 6 ounces and 1 inch thick), thawed, skins removed
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add curry paste; cook 1 minute. Add coconut milk and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Add bell pepper and cover; cook 10 minutes. Add bok choy, cover, and simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, 2 minutes more.
Season salmon with salt; add to curry. Remove pan from heat and cover. Let stand until salmon is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Gently break up salmon into large pieces. Serve, with lime wedges.
