Thai Coconut Cashew Salmon is a delicious and flavorful seafood dish that combines the richness of salmon with the creaminess of coconut milk, the crunchiness of cashews, and the spiciness of Thai red curry paste. To prepare this dish, you will need to marinate the salmon in a mixture of coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice for at least 30 minutes. Then, you sear the salmon fillets in a hot skillet until they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Next, you make a sauce by combining more coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. You add some sliced red bell pepper, chopped scallions, and chopped cashews to the sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well blended. Finally, you spoon the sauce over the seared salmon fillets and garnish with fresh cilantro, more scallions, and additional cashews. This dish is typically served with steamed jasmine rice on the side to soak up all the delicious sauce.
