Method

Prepare the Curry

  1. 1

    Make the Curry Base

    In a large saucepan, combine the coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant to the saucepan. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Prepare the Salmon

  1. 3

    Crust the Salmon

    Season the king salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Coat each fillet with rice flakes, pressing gently to adhere.

  2. 4

    Cook the Salmon

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil. Cook the salmon fillets, skin side down, for about 5-7 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Combine and Serve

  1. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the curry into bowls, top each with a piece of the crispy salmon, and garnish with fresh Thai basil leaves.
