Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a medium skillet, whisk together the heavy cream, curry powder, lemon juice, and ground ginger. (2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. (3 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Carefully slide the salmon fillets into the simmering cream sauce. Ensure the fillets are mostly submerged. (1 minute)

04

Step
10 mins

Cover the skillet and simmer gently until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Flip the fillets gently once or twice during cooking to ensure even cooking. (10 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Season the sauce and salmon with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (1 minute)

06

Step

Serve immediately over basmati rice, quinoa, or alongside a fresh green salad.

For a richer flavor, consider using coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to the curry cream sauce.
Ensure the salmon fillets are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
For a vegetarian option, try this recipe with pan-fried halloumi cheese.

    I used skin-on salmon and it turned out great. The skin was nice and crispy.

    I added a little bit of honey to the sauce for some sweetness. It was amazing!

    The salmon was perfectly cooked and the curry flavor wasn't overpowering.
