Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each, skin removed)
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
1 tablespoon green curry paste
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 small sweet onion sliced into ½-inch-thick half rounds
1 red bell pepper cut into ½-inch-thick strips
1 green bell pepper cut into ½-inch-thick strips
cooked rice for serving
4 green onions thinly sliced for garnish
fresh chopped cilantro for garnish
red pepper flakes for serving
Instructions
1-Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and placing a rack in the center. This step ensures even cooking and helps the flavors blend just right.
2-Season the salmon fillets with ½ teaspoon sea salt and ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper for a simple yet effective boost. In an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, whisk together 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk, 1 tablespoon green curry paste, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce. Let this mixture simmer to create a rich base.
3-Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, then cook for about 5 minutes until they soften. Nestle the salmon fillets into the curry mixture and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily. Serve it over cooked rice and garnish with green onions, cilantro, and red pepper flakes for a fresh finish.
4-First, gather and prep all ingredients to make the process smooth.
5-Heat the skillet and mix the sauce ingredients as described.
6-Add veggies and simmer before baking with the salmon.
7-Check the salmon’s internal temperature for safety, aiming for 145°F.
8-Garnish and serve right away for the best taste.

🥥 Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest, creamiest sauce – light coconut milk will result in a thinner, less flavorful curry
🌡️ Don’t overcook the salmon – it should flake easily but still be moist and tender, which typically takes 10-12 minutes in a 375°F oven
🌶️ Adjust the heat level by varying the amount of green curry paste and red pepper flakes – start with less and add more to taste if you prefer milder flavors
