Ingredients

For the Curry:

  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 1 pound carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon corander
  • 1/8 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

For the Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets about 5-6 oz each, skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Salmon Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked white rice or cauliflower rice
  • 2 heads broccoli florets steamed
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish
  • 1 jalapeno thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

For the Curry:

  • Melt ghee in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add carrots. Saute carrots until browned, then add shallots and garlic and saute until fragrant.
  • Add coconut milk, turmeric, curry powder, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, lime juice, and sea salt to the pan. Stir together until fully combined and set heat to medium-low. Let simmer for 15 minutes while salmon cooks.

For the Salmon:

  • In a large skillet, heat ghee or olive oil over medium heat.
  • Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Place salmon skin-side down into the skillet. Cook for 4-6 minutes over high heat, or until skin is browned/crispy, and then flip. Cook 3-5 minutes on the second side until top of salmon is also browned. Remove from heat. Note: this will result in a medium/well salmon filet. If you prefer your salmon less-cooked, adjust the cooking time accordingly.

To Assemble the Salmon Bowls:

  • Using an immersion blender, blend the curry sauce until smooth. If using a regular blender, allow sauce to cool 5-10 minutes before blending.
  • Divide the ingredients into 4 servings. Add rice and broccoli to each bowl, top with a salmon fillet, pour on the curry sauce, and garnish with cilantro and jalapeno. Serve!
