Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil for searing the salmon and sautéing the vegetables; alternative: vegetable oil
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 carrots cut into slices or matchsticks
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • ½ tablespoon ginger grated
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2-3 tablespoons cashew butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce alternatives: coconut aminos or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat half of the avocado oil in a large pan or pot over medium-high heat. Dry the salmon fillets with paper towels and season them with salt. Sear the salmon from both sides until cooked through. This should take around 4-5 minutes for each side, depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Take the salmon fillets out of the pan and set them aside.
  • Add more avocado oil to the pan and sauté the carrots, broccoli, garlic, ginger, and onion over medium-low heat. Only sauté for 1-2 minutes, as the vegetables will cook for a few more minutes with the curry.
  • Add the coconut milk, red curry paste, cashew butter, soy sauce, and honey to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the curry and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the lime juice to the curry. Then add back the salmon fillets and warm them up. Garnish with cilantro and serve!
