Instructions

Coconut Curry Salmon

Season salmon well on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium-high heat until pan is hot. Add salmon to pan and sear 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping once until salmon is golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Keep pan over medium-high heat and add onion to drippings. Sauté onion until just translucent, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, ginger, red curry paste, and agave and sauté 2 additional minutes.
Pour coconut milk into pan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer 5-10 minutes until sauce is slightly thickened.
Arrange salmon in pan and spoon sauce over top. Top salmon with cilantro and lime juice. Serve salmon hot over rice with broccoli. Enjoy!
