A Note from Feedfeed

Seasoned with aromatic spices, the salmon is pan-seared until golden, then nestled into a vibrant curry sauce infused with red curry paste, coconut milk, and a hint of sriracha. Pair with fragrant jasmine or basmati rice to absorb the sauce. Complement the dish with a side of crisp cucumber and carrot salad for a refreshing contrast, or opt for steamed broccoli for a nutritious touch. The medley of flavors in this recipe pairs well with a chilled cucumber mint yogurt sauce, adding a cooling element to balance the warmth of the curry.
