Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked to your liking.
  3. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add coconut milk, green curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring until mixed.
  4. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in the sliced bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Return the salmon to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for about a minute.
  7. Stir in fresh basil leaves right before serving.
  8. Plate the salmon, drizzle with curry sauce, and serve with lime wedges and your choice of jasmine rice or quinoa.

Notes

Ensure salmon is dried before cooking for crispy skin. Simmer coconut milk and curry paste for deep flavor. Add bell peppers just before serving for texture. A squeeze of lime balances the dish's richness.
