Ingredients
  

Salmon and Vegetables

  • 1 pound fresh salmon
  • to taste Salt & pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 heaping tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce (optional but recommended)
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk 13.5 ounces
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ cup matchstick cut carrots
  • 1 heaping cup chopped broccolini
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons torn/chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces. Pat both sides dry with paper towel and season with salt & pepper.
  • Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
  • Cook the salmon, skin-side down, for 5 minutes. Flip it and cook for another 2-3 minutes (the fish should be almost done).
  • Take the salmon out of the pan and transfer it to a plate. If you don't want to eat the salmon skin, you can slide it off before adding the salmon back into the pan.
  • Spoon some of the oil out of the skillet so you have about a tablespoon of it left in there.
  • Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until lightly browned, then stir in the garlic and curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add in the fish sauce, coconut milk, sugar, carrots, and broccolini. Let it gently bubble for about 5 minutes. The veggies should be tender-crisp.
  • Stir in the lime juice, then add the fish back to the pan. Let it warm through for a couple of minutes. Season with more salt & pepper as needed. Sprinkle with the basil and cilantro and serve immediately.
