Salmon, coconut milk & yogurt curry
I like Indian food for its delicious, healthy, fragrant, and diverse plates as well as for its saucy dishes, made from the distinctive spice mix we call “curry”.
Here’s a salmon curry recipe that everyone will enjoy, including people who aren’t big fish fans and kids who turn their noses up at anything that comes from the sea (and isn’t fried). You can replace the salmon with white fish or even large shrimp.
I threw in some cilantro to add freshness, and added slivered almonds for some crunch, which I toasted in the pan until they were golden and fragrant.
