Thai Salmon & Vegetables in Green Curry

     Over the years I've come across only a few great fish curries, and this is one of them.  I can't remember the site where I got this basic recipe from last winter.  As I've worked with it, I've made the following changes--I've added more vegetables  and increased both the curry and  other seasonings. 

 A few weeks ago a Japanese student moved into our home, and his favorite word to say after he takes a bite of something new is to say delicious!  And that is exactly what this salmon curry is--absolutely delicious.  

Salmon & Vegetables in Green Curry  -for 8 

1.  Prepare veggies:  
(1)  Chop 1 onion into thin slices
(2)  Mince 2 cloves of garlic
(3)  Grate 1” of ginger and put into a small bowl. 
(4)  Slice 1 green pepper into thin slices.
(5)  Slice 2 carrots on the diagonal.
(6)  Slice 1 zucchini in half and then slice in 1” pieces.
(7)  Cube 3 potatoes and then steam the potatoes and carrots until tender.

2.  Prepare salmon:  Rinse 1 pound of salmon and cube into 1" pieces.

3.  Prepare curry sauce:  

(1)  Heat 2 T oil and add onion and stir fry until transparent. Add 3-4 T green curry paste (Sometimes I add 5 T depending on how spicy I want it), garlic, and ginger and cook for a minute. 

(2)  Reduce the heat and add, 2 cans of  regular coconut milk and then add the zucchini and green pepper and cook 2-3 minutes

(3)  Then add the steamed potatoes and carrots.  

(4)  Stir in  2 T fish sauce,  1 t salt, and 2 t brown sugar and simmer for 3-4 minutes.  

(5)  Then add the salmon pieces and 1 cup of frozen peas, and cook for another 3-4  more minutes.    Serve over rice.

Variation of this recipe:  On December 9, 2013 I used the basic structure of this recipe to make  my own twist on this recipe!  I used  red curry paste instead of green and instead of zucchini, carrots, and potatoes, I used  squash and green beans.
