Creating Green Thai Curry Salmon is straightforward and fun, even if you’re just starting out in the kitchen. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F and setting a rack in the center position for even cooking. This setup helps ensure your salmon comes out flaky and full of flavor without any fuss.

First, season the salmon fillets with ½ teaspoon sea salt and ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper to enhance their natural taste. In an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, combine 1 can of shaken coconut milk, 1 tablespoon green curry paste, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce; whisk everything together until smooth. Add the sliced sweet onion and bell pepper strips, then bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies soften.

Next, carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets into the curry mixture in the skillet. Pop the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Once done, serve the Green Thai Curry Salmon over cooked rice and garnish with thinly sliced green onions, chopped fresh cilantro, and red pepper flakes to taste for a fresh, spicy kick.

Prepare your ingredients ahead to keep things organized.

Simmer the sauce gently to build flavors without burning.

Check the salmon’s internal temperature for perfect doneness.

Garnish just before serving to maintain vibrant colors and textures.
