Instructions
Creating Caribbean-Style Coconut Curry Salmon can be a delightful experience if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather and prepare all your ingredients. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, slice the bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add Curry Powder: Sprinkle in the curry powder and stir to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger. Let it cook for about 1 minute to bring out the flavors.
4. Incorporate Coconut Milk and Vegetables: Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the sliced bell pepper and cherry tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have softened slightly.
5. Cook the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Carefully place them in the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Squeeze lime juice over the top just before serving.
