Instructions
- Start by searing the salmon filets. Pat them dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon filets, skin side down.
- Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it's golden brown. Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add a little oil if needed. Add the grated ginger, grated garlic, and habanero(optional). Sauté for a minute or until fragrant.
- Stir in the turmeric, ground cumin, salt, dry fenugreek leaves, and ground coriander. Cook for another minute until the spices bloom.
- Pour in the coconut cream, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir everything together and let it come to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Place salmon fillets into the curry gently. If the curry thickens too much, you can add a little water or more coconut cream to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the curry and adjust the salt and spice levels if needed.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve it hot with plain basmati rice.
