Calories 610kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Salmon fillets skin removed, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp Neutral vegetable or canola oil
- 1 large Onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh Ginger minced
- 1 13.5 oz can Full-fat Coconut Milk
- 1/4 cup White Shiro Miso paste
- 1 tsp Fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt or to taste
- 4 cups Bok choy Spinach, or Green Beans, chopped
- Fresh Lime wedges for serving
- Fresh Cilantro coriander or Basil, chopped, for garnish
- Steamed Jasmine Rice or thin rice noodles for serving
Instructions
- Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Miso paste, ensuring it dissolves into the oil and aromatics. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the miso lightly caramelizes and the flavor deepens.
- Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and the fish sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring until the miso is completely dissolved into the sauce. Season with salt.
- Add the chopped bok choy (or other chosen vegetables) to the sauce and cook for 2 minutes until just beginning to wilt. Place the salmon pieces gently into the simmering sauce.
- Cover the skillet and let the salmon poach gently for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
- Squeeze the juice from half a lime directly into the curry. Stir gently, being careful not to break the salmon pieces. Serve the curry immediately over steamed jasmine rice or rice noodles, garnishing generously with fresh cilantro or basil and extra lime wedges.
