Salmon Chuchee curry

cooking steps

STEP 1

In a sauce pan add VG oil and stir-fry the BE Red curry paste until aroma develops and lower the heat.

STEP 2

Add half of the coconut cream, stir and bring to a boil.

STEP 3

Add the remaining coconut cream and bring to a boil.

STEP 4

Add the dried shrimp powder and simmer for a couple of minutes before seasoning to taste with the BE fish sauce and sugar (careful as shrimps are salty already)

STEP 5

Stir in the basil leaves and sliced chilis and remove from the heat. Set the sauce aside

STEP 6

In a very hot pan, grill the salmon fillets until nicely seared outside and tender inside.

STEP 7

On a serving dish, put some sauce in the bottom then add the grilled salmon then top up with more sauce. Sprinkle some sliced kaffir lime leaves on top and serve with Thai Jasmine rice

Chef s Tip

Chuchee curry also matches perfectly with prawns/shrimps, scallops or other types of fishes. You can use the sauce to cook your seafood directly inside, but this kind of plating with coated sauce enables to elevate the dish to a more sophisticated look: but either way will be super tasty !
