Ingredients
  

  • 4 about 5-ounce pieces salmon, cooked either by placing under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until cooked, cooked on the grill or sauté pan, or poached
  • 1 small onion chopped (about ½ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic about 3 cloves
  • 1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons grapeseed or other neutral vegetable oil
  • ½ cup water fish fumet or clam juice
  • 1 cup low-fat coconut milk or the optional full-fat version
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste or to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice from about ½ juicy lime
  • 2 tablespoons minced cilantro optional
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts optional
  • Lime wedges for garnish and additional squeezing, optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine the onion, garlic, and ginger in the work bowl of a food processor, process until it's a smooth paste. 
  • Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the onion paste, sauté until the paste turns slightly golden, stirring often. Meanwhile combine the water, coconut milk, sugar, and curry paste in a small bowl; whisk until well combined. Add to the onion mixture in the pan, along with a large pinch of salt; bring to a simmer and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the fish, basting it with the sauce until coated; simmer until heated through then squeeze the lime juice over the sauce and stir it in. Place the fish in a bowl and spoon the sauce over. Sprinkle with the cilantro and peanuts, if using. Serve with rice noodles, or steamed jasmine rice with a wedge of lime for additional seasoning.
