- 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
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!
