METHOD
-
Start by heating a little olive oil in a wide bottomed pan/casserole dish and add in the shallots. Gently saute for a minute or so before adding in all the pastes (you can substitute for yellow Thai paste by using half a tsp each of mild curry powder, turmeric and ground coriander, if you prefer), along with the stalks from the basil leaves, finely chopped. Continue to saute for another few minutes
-
Then pour in the coconut milk, along with the fish sauce and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir in well and let it simmer slowly for about five minutes. In the meantime, brush the salmon fillet pieces with olive oil, season well with sea salt, black pepper and chilli flakes and pan fry on one side only for a couple of minutes. It should appear pink in the middle
-
Finally, add the salmon in with the curry sauce, continue to simmer gently for another minute and then finish off with the dessicated coconut, red chilli, lime wedges and fresh basil leaves. Serve with Thai jasmine rice
