Servings: 4 🍽️  

Prep Time: 10 minutes ⏱️  

Cooking Time: 25 minutes 🔥  

Total Time: 35 minutes ⏲️  

📝 Ingredients:  

For the salmon:  

- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) 🐟  

- 1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒  

- 1 cup coconut milk 🥥  

- 2 tablespoons red curry paste 🌶️  

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari 🌾  

- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 🫚  

- 1 garlic clove, minced 🧄  

- Juice of 1 lime 🍋  

- Fresh cilantro, for garnish 🌿  

For the coconut quinoa:  

- 1 cup quinoa 🍚  

- 1 cup coconut milk 🥥  

- 1 cup water 💧  

- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂  

👩‍🍳 Instructions:  

1. Prepare the quinoa. Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside. 🥥🍚  

2. Sear the salmon. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and place them skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and nearly cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 🐟🔥  

3. Make the curry sauce. In the same skillet, whisk together coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. 🍛🌶️  

4. Simmer the salmon. Return the seared salmon to the skillet, spooning the curry sauce over the fillets. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and infused with the curry flavors. 🐟🥥  

5. Serve. Divide the coconut quinoa among plates, top with the salmon, and spoon the curry sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh lime juice and cilantro. 🍋🌿  

💡 Tips:  

- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red curry paste to suit your taste. 🌶️  

- Use light coconut milk for a lower-calorie option, but full-fat coconut milk creates a creamier sauce. 🥥  

- Pair with steamed vegetables, like broccoli or green beans, for a complete meal. 🥦
