Salmon and Sweet Potato in a Coconut Curry Sauce

Our seafood CSA keeps us supplied with a near-endless stream of salmon, and sweet potatoes are ubiquitous this time of year. So, how nice to whip out this easy weekday recipe from Mark Bittman’s book Kitchen Express.

Onions, LImes, Garlic, Ginger, Curry & Sweet Potatoes

Thinly slice up an onion and a clove of garlic, and, in a larger saucepan, saute them in some olive oil until the onion is soft. Add a couple pinches of curry and stir.

Simmering the Onions, Sweet Potatoes and Curry

Dice two sweet potatoes and add them to the saucepan, along with a can of light coconut milk, the juice of half a lime, a splash of fish sauce, and diced ginger. Bring to a boil, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft – about eight minutes.

Add the Salmon Chunks

Cube two salmon fillets, add them to the pan, and simmer until the fish is cooked.
