Ingredients

Directions

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and brush with 1 tablespoon cooking oil. Preheat the oven’s broiler.

Pat salmon filets dry with paper towels and place on the prepared pan, skin side down. Brush filets with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.

Season filets with curry powder, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle honey over the filets, and place under the broiler. Broil until just crisp on top, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully; honey may burn easily. Remove from oven and keep warm.

For coconut curry sauce, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook about 1 minute, then add garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more,

Stir in red pepper flakes and Thai red curry paste and cook about 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, soy sauce, and fish sauce; bring to a simmer. Add broccoli florets and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

Add salmon filets to the skillet and simmer until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes.

Squeeze 1/2 lime over the skillet. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions, and serve.

Cook’s Note

Soy sauce and fish sauce can be salty, so use salt sparingly.

Thickness of salmon filets will affect cooking time. If filets are thin, reduce cooking time. If filets are greater than 3/4-inch thick, cook until an instant read thermometer inserted near the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Thai curry paste comes in different levels of spiciness – adjust the amount according to your spice preference.
