Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 can 14 ounces coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 pound salmon fillets skin removed and cut into chunks
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the curry powder and turmeric, stirring to combine and cook for another minute to release the spices' flavors.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk, lime juice, and lime zest. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Carefully add the salmon chunks to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Cover and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa, garnished with fresh cilantro.
