Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 1 1/2 lbs salmon cut into 4 filets
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil
For the Coconut Curry Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 3 cups fresh spinach chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (245 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with foil.
- In a small bowl, combine the oil and spices to make a rub for the salmon. Note: If you think the rub is too thick, you can add another ½-1 teaspoon of oil.
- Next, place your salmon skin-side down on your prepared baking sheet and coat it in the rub.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes until the salmon can be flaked off with a fork and it reaches your preferred level of doneness, but at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) internal temperature.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the coconut curry sauce.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Next, add the brown sugar and curry paste, and sauté for another 2 minutes.
- Then, add the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime zest, and spinach. Stir until the spinach has wilted.
- Time to prepare your bowl. I recommend adding white rice to the bottom of a bowl, topping it with the salmon, and finally, the sauce. Enjoy!
