This Thai coconut salmon curry is an easy and flavorful dinner that is ready in about 30 minutes. With a subtly sweet spice rub, creamy coconut curry sauce with just the right amount of spice.
Mix together the sugar, curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder and salt in a small dish.
Sprinkle on top of the salmon filets and pat in.
Place in an oven safe baking dish or on a baking sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on how well done you like your salmon.
Meanwhile, saute the garlic and ginger with the oil in a small pot for just a couple minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Add in the tomato paste and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Add in all remaining ingredients and whisk really well.
Let simmer over very low heat to let the flavors blend.
Optional: In a skillet, saute any of your favorite veggies. I just used kale here, but also love using bell peppers, broccoli and onion. Add the salmon into the pan and pour on top the sauce.
Let simmer for 2-3 minutes, then serve over a bed of white rice. Top with extra sauce and enjoy!
Notes
While there are so many ways to cook salmon, I love to bake it, then broil it to get the top crispy. You don't have to broil it, but if you love a crispy top, I highly recommend it!
