INGREDIENTS

boneless salmon fillets, 4 x 120g, skin on
vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon, plus for deep frying
red curry paste, ½ cup
coconut cream, 400ml can
fish sauce, 2 tablespoons
lime juice, 1-2 tablespoons
palm sugar, 2 teaspoons
oil, for shallow frying
white rice, steamed
shredded green onion, coriander leaves, lime wedges, to serve
METHOD

  1. Pat salmon skin dry with paper towel and season to taste.

  2. Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan on high. Cook curry paste 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and starting to separate. Reduce heat to low. Add coconut cream and simmer 6-8 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season with fish sauce, lime juice and palm sugar.

  3. Meanwhile, heat enough oil to shallow fry in a medium saucepan until bubbles form around a bamboo skewer when immersed. Working in 2 batches, carefully lower salmon into oil and cook 1-2 minutes each side, until cooked to taste. Drain on paper towel. Serve salmon on rice, drizzled with sauce. Garnish with green onion, coriander and lime wedges.


TOP TIP
  • Save and freeze any leftover sauce to serve with barbecued salmon fillets or as a marinade for barbecued prawns.
