Ingredients:

– 4 salmon fillets (4-6 oz each)

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– 1 medium onion, finely chopped

– 2 garlic cloves, minced

– 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

– 1 tbsp curry powder

– 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

– 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

– 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth

– 2 cups baby spinach

– Fresh cilantro, for garnish

– Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

2. In a large skillet or pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot oil and cook them for about 5 minutes or until they’re browned and crispy around the edges. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3 minutes or until cooked through according to your desired doneness. Remove the fillets from the pan onto a plate and set aside.

3. In the same pan over medium heat, add onions and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent and softened.

4. Add garlic, ginger, curry powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) into pan with onions, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

5. Pour the coconut milk and vegetable broth into the skillet. Stir well, ensuring that there are no lumps of curry powder or spices left. Turn up the heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

6. Reduce the heat back to medium, and add the baby spinach into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just wilted.

7. Nestle in your pre-cooked salmon fillets back into the pan with the sauce, allowing them to warm up before serving.

8. Serve your coconut curry salmon over steamed jasmine rice or quinoa, spooning extra sauce on top. Finish with a garnish of fresh cilantro and squeeze of lime for a burst of bright flavor.

In just eight simple steps, you can have a mouthwatering coconut curry salmon dish that will transport you and your taste buds straight to paradise. Enjoy!
