Salmon in Coconut-Curry Sauce
For this simple skillet dinner, we borrowed from “In Bibi’s Kitchen” by Hawa Hassan. Instead of mackerel, we use salmon fillets and pair them with a saucy mix of vegetables simmered in coconut milk. A small measure of curry powder, a stand-in for the Somali spice blend called xawaash, flavors the dish and gives the sauce a pale golden hue. Serve with steamed rice.

Tip
Don’t let the sauce reach a simmer after returning the salmon to the skillet. Gentle heat—just enough to create steam—is all that’s needed to cook the fillets so that they remain moist and tender.

01Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the salmon flesh side down, then immediately reduce to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Using a wide, thin spatula, transfer the salmon browned-side up to a plate.

Excellent recipe
Favorite way to make salmon. 10/10
Saw this pop up and wanted to make it, as I am always looking for salmon recipes. Husband was iffy as he really enjoys curry, but not a big salmon fan. This recipe won him over, he really liked it served over rice. I adjusted the curry up and removed the seeds from the jalapenos as it is our taste, it was really good. He even asked for it to be a repeat dinner item.
