Ingredients: • 1 1/4 cups chilled coconut milk, divided • 3 1/2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste, divided • 1 tablespoon fish sauce • 1 tablespoon soy sauce • 1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar • 1 skinless salmon fillet • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil • 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion

Directions:1. Scoop 1/4 cup coconut cream from the top of the chilled coconut milk and transfer it to a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of the curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until very fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the remaining 1 cup coconut milk to achieve a smooth consistency, and then slowly incorporate it into the curry paste mixture. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and then adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened to a thin sauce consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.
2. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat.
3. Remove any remaining pin bones from the salmon fillet. Cut the fillet into 3/4-inch-thick slices.
4. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons curry paste with the oil and generously brush the salmon with the mixture. Grill over direct high heat, with the lid closed for 5 minutes, flip and grill an additional 3 minutes with the lid closed. Top the salmon with the sauce, and scatter the scallions over the top. |
