Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). While the oven is heating, rub salmon fillets generously with brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Arrange salmon skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Broil for about 10-15 minutes, until it flakes easily.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Incorporate curry powder, coconut milk, and lime juice. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until thick and aromatic.
  3. Carefully transfer the broiled salmon to a serving dish. Pour the coconut curry sauce over the salmon, allowing it to meld for a minute before garnishing.
  4. Serve the Coconut Curry Salmon with steamed rice, topping with fresh spinach. Squeeze additional lime and sprinkle optional garnishes if desired.

Notes

Keep an eye on the salmon while broiling to avoid burning. You can substitute salmon with shrimp or tofu for variations. When storing leftovers, reheat gently to maintain tenderness.
