Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sear the Salmon – Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper, then sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics – In the same skillet, add another tbsp of olive oil. Sauté garlic and onions until fragrant. Add bell peppers and cook for 3 minutes until slightly tender.
  3. Make the Curry Sauce – Stir in red curry paste, turmeric, and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Season & Simmer – Add soy sauce, lime juice, and adjust salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
  5. Cook the Salmon – Return the salmon to the skillet, spoon the curry sauce over it, and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
  6. Serve & Enjoy – Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.

  • Adjust the chili flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • You can serve the dish with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
