Microwave Red Curry Poached Salmon.

septiembre 21, 2024

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup red curry paste
  • 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional, for authentic flavor)
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)
  • Fresh cilantro or basil for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a microwave-safe dish, whisk together the red curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce (if using), lime juice, and brown sugar until well combined.
  2. Add the salmon: Place the salmon fillets into the curry mixture, making sure they are partially submerged. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Cover the dish: Use a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
  4. Microwave: Cook on high for about 4-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Check for doneness; the salmon should flake easily with a fork, and the flesh should be opaque.
  5. Garnish and serve: Let the salmon rest for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or basil and serve with lime wedges on the side.

This can be enjoyed with rice, quinoa, or a side of steamed vegetables for a quick, delicious meal!

Tip: Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave’s power or the thickness of the salmon to avoid overcooking.
