You can grate fresh ginger with a microplane, but I prefer this ginger paste that I find in the produce section of the grocery store.
Coconut Curry Salmon (adapted from here)
serves 4
4 pieces salmon
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the sauce:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 can coconut milk
juice of 2 limes
handful of fresh spinach
Preheat oven to 450°. Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup).
Mix the brown sugar, curry powder, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder together and add in the olive oil to make a paste. Rub the paste on top of each piece of salmon. Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes, until fish is firm.
To make the sauce, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and curry paste. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and lime juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until salmon is ready, then add in the spinach.
Top each salmon filet with sauce and serve over rice.
