4. Curry sauce: Mix 1 tbsp green curry paste with 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, and the can of coconut milk. Adjust spice by adding red pepper flakes to taste.

Cooking Instructions:
1. Prepare the Salmon

• Heat 1-2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
•  Sear the salmon fillets, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
•  Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the Vegetables

• In the same skillet, add the sweet onion, green and red bell peppers, and ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
• 3. Make the Curry Sauce
• Lower the heat to medium. Stir in the green curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release the aroma.
•  Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Combine and Simmer

•  Return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and add the green onions.
• Simmer for 5 minutes, ensuring the salmon cooks through (internal temp of 145°F/63°C).
• 5. Serve
•  Serve the salmon and curry sauce over cooked rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added brightness.

Pro Tips:

Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving for extra zest.
For more spice, add a sliced red chili pepper to the sautéed vegetables.
