Salmon Curry

When its time to impress your going to need something a little bit fancy to really make an impact well don't worry Chef Shamus has got you covered. Just make this delicious but simple salmon curry and your aims will be achieved, whether they be amicable or not ;)

There might be a couple of ingredients your going to have to buy especially for this dish, not everyone has masses of coconut milk laying around. My advice is if your going to be doing a lot of Thai/Indian cooking, buy a block of creamed coconut which lasts a lot longer and just add hot water to it to make it into a coconut milk.

Ingredients

• 200g salmon
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 clove of garlic
  
• 1 onion
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 4 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 200ml coconut milk

Method

1. Use a sharp knife and remove the scales from the fish (if any) sprinkle the salmon with salt and leave for 20 minutes

2. Chop the onion and crush the garlic, fry the onion on a medium heat until golden then add the garlic and fry for a further 30 seconds.

3. Add the coriander, chilli and turmeric, mix in and fry for another minute before adding the coconut milk then cook for another 2 minutes.

4. Place the salmon in the pan and bring the mixture to a boil before turning it back down and allowing to simmer.

5. Place a lid on the pan and cook for 5 minutes then turn the fish over and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve on a bed of basmati rice and enjoy :)

Tips

Don't overcook the salmon, a lot of people are nervous to cook fish but salmon really doesn't need much cooking
