Coconut Curry Salmon with Coconut Quinoa

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions:
1. Prepare the quinoa. Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside. πŸ₯₯🍚
2. Sear the salmon. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and place them skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and nearly cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 🐟πŸ”₯
3. Make the curry sauce. In the same skillet, whisk together coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. πŸ›πŸŒΆοΈ
4. Simmer the salmon. Return the seared salmon to the skillet, spooning the curry sauce over the fillets. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and infused with the curry flavors. 🐟πŸ₯₯
5. Serve. Divide the coconut quinoa among plates, top with the salmon, and spoon the curry sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh lime juice and cilantro. πŸ‹πŸŒΏ
πŸ’‘ Tips:
– Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red curry paste to suit your taste. 🌢️
– Use light coconut milk for a lower-calorie option, but full-fat coconut milk creates a creamier sauce. πŸ₯₯
– Pair with steamed vegetables, like broccoli or green beans, for a complete meal. πŸ₯¦
