Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Start by heating a splash of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger, cooking until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the Spices: Sprinkle in your favorite curry powder along with turmeric and cumin. Stir them into the onions for about 1 minute until they are well combined and aromatic.
  3. Pour in the Coconut Milk: Gradually add a can of creamy coconut milk, stirring gently to combine with the spices. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Incorporate the Salmon: Carefully place salmon fillets into the bubbling coconut sauce. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Finish with Fresh Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the curry just before serving for an extra burst of brightness.
