Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

Seafood

  • 1 pound fresh salmon

Seasonings & Oils

  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste heaping
  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce optional but recommended
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Vegetables

  • ½ cup matchstick cut carrots
  • 1 cup chopped broccolini heaping
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.5 ounce)

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • 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). If the fish is sticking at any point, give it a little longer to release naturally (don't force it).
  • 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 easily slide it off before adding the salmon back into the pan.

Notes

The fish sauce is optional but adds depth of flavor to the curry.
