Ingredients:
- 1.5 lb salmon fillets
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 13.5 oz full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp sriracha
Instructions:
- Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
- Heat avocado oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and press lightly for 10 seconds. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms, remove to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add coconut oil, then sauté the red curry paste, garlic, and ginger for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Toss in the sliced bell peppers and snap peas, stirring for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Whisk in the coconut milk, fish sauce, honey, and sriracha. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the lime juice and nestle the seared salmon back into the sauce. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes, spooning sauce over the fish, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
