  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets, 4 ounces each, skin removed

Β½ teaspoon sea salt

Β½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk, shaken

1 tablespoon green curry paste

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 small sweet onion, sliced into Β½-inch-thick half rounds

1 red bell pepper, cut into Β½-inch-thick strips

1 green bell pepper, cut into Β½-inch-thick strips

Cooked rice for serving

4 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Red pepper flakes, for garnish

Instructions

1-Getting started with this Green Thai Curry Salmon is straightforward and fun: Begin by preheating your oven to 375Β°F and setting a rack in the center position. This ensures even cooking for your fish. Now, season the salmon fillets with the sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper for a simple yet effective flavor base.

2-Next, heat an ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add the coconut milk, green curry paste, fresh lime juice, grated ginger, and fish sauce. Whisk these together until they blend smoothly, creating a fragrant sauce. Then, toss in the sliced sweet onion and bell pepper strips, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the vegetables soften up nicely.

3-Once that’s done, carefully nestle the salmon fillets into the curry mixture. Pop the skillet into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. For serving, place the salmon over cooked rice and garnish with thinly sliced green onions, chopped fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. This method keeps everything moist and full of flavor, as highlighted in easy Thai recipes on our blog.

Notes

🌢️ Use your preferred green curry paste brand or homemade paste for flavor customization.
πŸ§… Cook onions and peppers thoroughly for better digestibility or omit if desired.
πŸ› Avoid cooking salmon above 145Β°F to keep it moist; the curry sauce helps prevent drying out.
