Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

2 tablespoons red curry paste

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

1 cup snap peas (or green beans)

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Add the red curry paste to the skillet and stir, cooking for an additional minute to deepen the flavor.

      Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the curry paste and garlic, letting it simmer for about 5 minutes.

        Gently place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the curry mixture. Use a spoon to baste the tops of the fillets with the sauce.

          Add the sliced bell pepper and snap peas around the salmon in the skillet.

            Drizzle fish sauce and lime juice over everything, being careful not to disturb the salmon too much.

              Cover the skillet and let the salmon cook for about 8-10 minutes until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

                In the last minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, enriching the curry sauce with delicious garlic flavor.

                  Once the salmon is cooked and the vegetables are tender-crisp, taste the sauce and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.

                    Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
