Easy Salmon Coconut Curry

Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center of the oven

Take out a large baking dish or baking sheet and line it with parchment paper

Place the salmon skin side down on dish or sheet and pat dry with a paper towel

Make the spice rub for the salmon by mixing together the sea salt, red curry paste, garlic powder and the oil until fully combined

Spread the curry paste mixture over the salmon and place it in the oven until it easily flakes with a fork, about 8-10 minutes

While the salmon cooks, make the curry sauce: In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the oil, garlic and pepper to skillet and cook until fragrant and peppers soften, about 5-8 minutes

Add in the red curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce and ginger whisk until fully combined

Bring the sauce to a low boil then add in the salmon and simmer for about 10 minutes

Add the lime juice and fresh basil to the pan and stir to combine

Top the salmon curry with green onions, cilantro and extra basil if desired and serve family style along with cooked rice
