Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets, skinless

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

2 tablespoons red curry paste

1 tablespoon fish sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and have them ready. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Make the Coconut Curry Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice until smooth.

      Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and halved cherry tomatoes, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

        Add the Sauce: Pour the coconut curry sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

          Cook the Salmon: Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets into the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the salmon cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

            Garlic Butter Finishing Touch: In the last minute of cooking, add a knob of butter (around 1-2 tablespoons) directly into the sauce and let it melt. Spoon the buttery sauce over the salmon for extra flavor.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve the coconut curry salmon over warm jasmine rice, drizzling additional curry sauce on top.
