Thai Salmon Curry - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs fresh salmon fillets
1 (14 ounce) can light unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon palm sugar or 1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 -3 tablespoon red curry paste (you choose how much)
1/2 lime (juice of, no seeds)
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
minced Thai chile (optional; as many as you prefer)
3 cups steamed jasmine rice (or other type of rice)
Preparation
-
Remove the skin from the fillets (discarding skin) and cut the fish into medium/large cubes (about 1-inch size).
Place the coconut milk into a large saute pan and add ginger, sugar, fish sauce, curry paste, and lime juice.
Use a whisk to blend it until it is smooth.
Bring the coconut milk to a boil and add the fish.
Cook, turning fish gently to cook all sides as it cooks, for 5-7 minutes (depending on size of cubes or how well done you like your fish).
Sprinkle curry with chopped basil and cilantro.
Serve garnished with minced Thai bird chiles, if you like, but remember that these are very hot, and you might want to taste one small thin ring (preferably with some food) before adding a lot of them to your serving.
Ladle into bowls over steamed jasmine rice.
