Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk, full-fat
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
- Stir in turmeric and curry powder; cook for another minute to release their aromas.
- Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and honey. Stir well to combine, ensuring the sauce is smooth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the sliced red bell pepper, snap peas, and cherry tomatoes to the sauce. Stir to combine, then return the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side up. Spoon some sauce over the salmon.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
