This 5-Ingredient Red Curry Salmon will quickly become a permanent fixture in your weeknight rotation.

5-Ingredient Red Curry Salmon from www.EverydayMaven.comWhen I tell you that I have made this Red Curry Salmon for dinner once a week since the middle of December, I am not kidding.

While I usually make a new recipe at least a couple of times to test it before sharing with you guys, once I know it’s good, I usually move on.

I crave change and love to switch things up but this Salmon is so good and soooo easy and seriously makes everyone happy. Both my kids and my husband LOVE it and my older son even requested it last week over burgers. Now, if that isn’t saying something, what is?

Not only is this on the table in under 20 Minutes (!), but it is naturally Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Low Carb and Whole30 compliant.

Serve with some quick veggies over either cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles and you will be in easy and delicious dinner heaven.

NOTES:

  • Depending on the size of your pan, you may want to cut your Salmon fillet into pieces. It is also easier to flip and remove when done. I have this large fish spatula that makes it easy to flip a large piece. I also use a 14″ saute pan.
  • Make sure to use a sugar free (and junk free) Red Curry Paste like Thai Kitchen to keep this Low Carb, Sugar Free, Gluten Free and Whole30 compliant.
  • When it comes to canned, full-fat coconut milk, my favorite brands are Natural Value, Native Forest and Aroy-D (this is actually in a tetra pak).
  • The best Fish Sauce is Red Boat Fish Sauce. By leaps and bounds.

    This is so incredibly easy and my favorite curry dish — the sauce is fantastic and the salmon remains moist and so flavorful!

    I have cooked a lot of sockeye and this was good! I juiced 1/2 a lime in my juicer and using this much in the recipe as written was too tart for my tastebuds, but added 2-3 Tbsp sugar and it mellowed it out. Nice flavor and thanks for the recipe! I am rating it a 4 star only because it was tart as written, but for me, with the added sugar, it is a 5 star :)
