Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 1 400g tin chickpeas drained
  • 1 x 400ml tin of coconut milk
  • 2 heaped tbsp red Thai curry paste
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 cm piece of ginger grated
  • 1 small red chilli finely chopped
  • Olive oil
  • Large handful of spinach
  • Small handful of coriander

Instructions

  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot pan on all sides until coloured. Remove and set to one side.
  • Sweat the shallot until lovely and soft, around 7 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and curry paste. Stir well for 1 minute, add the cherry tomatoes and cook out for around a couple of minutes until the tomatoes are bursting. Keep stirring to encourage them to burst.
  • Add the coconut milk, lime and fish sauce. Add the drained chickpeas and gently simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Turn the heat right down. Stir in the spinach and some chopped coriander. Allow to wilt.
  • Place the salmon fillets into the dish and allow to warm through until they are cooked.

Notes

Try to just sear the salmon and not cook it through in Step 1 as you don't want to overcook it by the final step.
You can swap the spinach for another green like pak choi or kale.
