Ingredients

Salmon:

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4, 4 ounce salmon filets

Curry Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup Thai red curry paste
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 3 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/4 cup basil

To Serve:

  • Rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475 F, and line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Make your rice or cauliflower rice.
  • In a small bowl, combine the curry powder, salt, honey, and avocado/vegetable oil into a paste. Pat salmon completely dry, and place it skin side down on your prepared baking sheet. Brush the curry paste evenly over each filet.
  • Bake salmon in the preheated oven for 6-12 minutes--this will depend on how thick your salmon is, for normal sized filets, around for 8-9 minutes. I usually pull my salmon out just before it is fully cooked through the thickest part, as it will come to temp while resting.
  • Meanwhile make the sauce, by melting the butter in a large skillet. Add the curry paste, garlic, and ginger, and saute until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, and spinach, and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook until the spinach has softened to your liking, for us this is about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and basil and set aside.
  • Serve cooked salmon over rice/cauliflower rice, with sauce on top, and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
