Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon boneless

For the spice paste

  • 1 tomato
  • 1 clove garlic or 2 if small
  • ½ onion
  • 1 teaspoon ginger fresh, grated/minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric

To make curry

  • ½ tablespoon oil vegetable, canola
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water or more, as needed

Instructions

  • Remove skin from the salmon and cut into bite-sized dice. 
  • To make the spice paste, roughly dice the tomato, peeled garlic and onion. Put them in a small food processor or blender along with the ginger, cumin, coriander and turmeric. Blend until smooth. This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated (as can the diced salmon).
  • When ready to cook, warm the oil in a medium skillet/frying pan over a medium heat and add the spice paste. Cook for a couple minutes until it darkens a little and bubbles. 
  • Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer then reduce the heat. Add the salmon and allow it to cook in the sauce. Don't stir too much to avoid breaking up the fish.
  • Add the lemon juice and a little water as needed to thin the sauce slightly - you want it to be a bit runny but not too thin. Serve over rice.
