Seared Salmon with Coconut Tomato Sauce


This was posted on our website just last week but it is so good that I didn’t want anyone to miss it (my partner created it and I made it for my family immediately, knowing as soon as I saw it that it was going to be good!)

Serves 4

4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon fresh chopped garlic
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala (if you do not have this use ½ teaspoon of fennel and ½ teaspoon cardamom)
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1 tablespoon ground coriander, plus 1/2 teaspoon to season salmon
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1 cup coconut milk
Pinch salt and freshly ground pepper
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets

For the sauce: 
Put 2 tablespoons canola oil into a large skillet over low-med heat and add ginger and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds and stir in garam masala, mustard and ground coriander; cook for 10 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, stirring well. Pour in the coconut milk and simmer for about 15 minutes, until sauce is thickened. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary.

For the salmon: 
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, season the salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sear them on each side for 6 – 7 minutes, until they are just cooked through. Put the salmon on a plate and ladle some sauce over it.
