Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh salmon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 2 heaping tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrots
- 1 heaping cup chopped broccolini
- Fresh basil and cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into four equal pieces, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side down for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until nearly cooked through.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion until lightly browned, then add minced garlic and curry paste, cooking for one minute.

- Return the salmon to the skillet to warm through for a couple of minutes before serving garnished with lime juice, basil, and cilantro.
