Debbie Pearson of McDonough fell in love with the colors, tastes and smells of Thailand during a trip there in 2001. This recipe combines all three elements. She writes, "After returning to the United States, I came up with this simple salmon dish to help satisfy my new cravings for Thai food. Cooks who dislike spicy food can reduce the amount of Thai red curry paste (a little goes a long way)."
Hands on time: Total time: 30 minutes Serves: 2
Ingredients:
-
2 salmon fillets
4 green onions
1 clove garlic
1 heaping teaspoon Thai red curry paste
1 lime
Instructions:
In a well-oiled skillet or stir-fry pan over medium heat, cook salmon for five minutes on each side.
While the salmon is cooking, chop two green onions and mince one clove of garlic. Add green onions and garlic to pan and cook with salmon for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, turning salmon as needed to cook evenly.
When salmon is done, reduce heat. Using the back of a spoon, spread Thai red curry paste on each side. Heat salmon for 1 additional minute on each side. Squeeze the juice of half a lime on salmon and transfer to plates.
Garnish each plate with 1/4 lime and a whole green onion.

Notes:
Thai red curry paste is available in the international aisle of most grocery stores. Pearson recommends greasing the skillet with coconut oil. Although a bit hard to find, she feels it adds Thai flavor and authenticity. Olive oil is a suitable alternative.
