One-pan Thai coconut salmon curry: A show-stopper in looks and taste. Quick, delicious, and ready in 30 minutes. Crispy seared salmon in a rich, slightly spicy, creamy coconut sauce with veggies and fresh basil. It's a must-try!
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season all over with salt, pepper and sweet paprika.
Heat coconut oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add the salmon fillets and sear, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat until fragrant. Add bell pepper, cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato paste and curry paste, cook for 1 minute. Add coriander, cumin and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour broth and bring to a boil.
Add bok choy, fish sauce and peanut butter. Stir to combine. Pour coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
Nestle salmon in the sauce. Sprinkle with lemon juice and simmer for 3-5 more minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Stir in the basil leaves and serve with rice or some crusty bread. Top with extra red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
