Ingredients

  • 600 g salmon fillets (4 pieces, ~150 g each)
  • 30 ml olive oil (2 tbsp)
  • 150 g onion, finely chopped (1 large)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 15 g fresh ginger, grated (1 tbsp)
  • 5 g ground turmeric (1 tsp)
  • 5 g ground cumin (1 tsp)
  • 5 g mild chilli powder (1 tsp)
  • 400 ml coconut milk (full‑fat)
  • 200 g brown basmati rice
  • 250 ml water (for rice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and ginger; cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in turmeric, cumin and chilli powder, toasting the spices for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin‑side down in the sauce, cover and poach for 8‑10 minutes until opaque.
  6. While the salmon cooks, rinse brown rice and combine with water in a saucepan; bring to boil, then simmer covered for 20 minutes.
  7. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve alongside the curry, spooning extra sauce over the fish.
  8. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired and serve hot.
