I admit that there was something off with the flavor profile I used to make this, and I'm pretty sure it was the dill, so I'm leaving it out of the written recipe. I love dill, but it did not seem to mesh with the curry spices. Just a heads-up if you're considering it.
This recipe comes together very quickly, thanks to the short cooking time of the salmon. It would have gone faster if the spinach had been more defrosted. I only gave it twelve hours in the fridge, and it was still a brick. Maybe go a full day, or use a bag instead of a box. There's also nothing wrong with using a bag of fresh baby spinach, pre-washed. But again, I was using what was on hand. I feel like there's too much in the freezer.
1 Tb olive or coconut oil
1/2 C diced onion
*2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin
*1 tsp paprika
*1 Tb tomato paste
*1 clove garlic, minced
*1/2 tsp grated ginger
*1 can coconut milk (lite ok)
*10 oz frozen spinach, thawed (1 brick)
*1 lb salmon, cut in bite-sized pieces
*1/2 C chopped parsley or cilantro (or a combination)
*lemon juice and zest to taste, or diced preserved lemon
salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then onion. Cook until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. This is also a good time to start any rice you're having with it.
2. Add curry, cumin, paprika, tomato paste, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook until it forms a fragrant paste, about 3 minutes.3. Add coconut milk and spinach and bring to a simmer. If the spinach is still slightly frozen, continue to simmer until broken down.4. Add salmon and parsley or cilantro. Simmer until the salmon is mostly done, about 5 minutes. Taste and add lemon juice, zest, salt, and pepper as needed. Serve over rice.Difficulty rating π
