- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
CURRY
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or sub water, adding more as needed as it evaporates
- ⅔ cup shallot thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp ginger minced
- ½ fresh chili reduce for less heat, increase for more heat
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3½ tbsp red curry paste try our home made red curry paste
- 1 red capsicum seeds removed and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 Salt
- 400 ml light coconut milk
- 1 tsp coconut aminos
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 2 cups kale optional
FOR SERVING optional
- ½ cup brown rice white rice, or cauliflower rice
- 6 leaves basil
- 2 wedges lime
Instructions
- First, prep salmon. Ideally, the skin is removed. If not, it can be removed later. Top with salt, coconut aminos, and chili garlic sauce to briefly marinate. Set aside.2 salmon fillet, ⅛ tsp Salt, 1 tsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- Heat a large rimmed skillet or pot over medium heat. Once hot, add oil or water. Then add shallot, ginger, and chili and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring frequently, lowering the heat if it begins to burn.1 tbsp avocado oil, ⅔ cup shallot, 1 tbsp ginger, ½ fresh chili, 2 cloves garlic
- Add red curry paste and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently (turn down heat if browning or burning). Then add red capsicum and a pinch of salt and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add coconut milk and stir to combine. Then bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes.3½ tbsp red curry paste, 1 red capsicum, 1 Salt, 400 ml light coconut milk
- Add coconut aminos and maple syrup, starting with the lesser amount and working your way up to taste. Taste curry and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt to taste, coconut aminos for depth of flavor / umami, maple syrup for balance / sweetness, or curry paste for more intense curry flavor.1 tsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp maple syrup
- Once you have the curry to your liking, add the salmon (see note below for separate pan/crispier skin option). Cover and cook through (~5 minutes).
- NOTE: If your salmon has the skin on, add the salmon skin side down. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip, peel off skin, and cook through. If you have trouble peeling the skin off, continue cooking; it should peel off once cooked through. For a third cooking option, see notes below.
- In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add the kale, cover, and cook until wilted. Serve as is, or with rice of choice, lime juice, and fresh herbs such as basil.2 cups kale, ½ cup brown rice, 2 wedges lime, 6 leaves basil
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheat on the stovetop or microwave. Not freezer friendly if salmon has been added (as it doesn’t reheat well).

Notes
If you’d prefer crispier salmon, cook in a separate pan in a bit of oil over medium heat, flipping once to ensure it cooks evenly. To serve, add the salmon to a serving plate along with curry and desired sides / garnishes.
