Original GF Paleo Vegetarian
Salmon with Curry Butter
A flavorful butter mixed with spices infuses both the vegetables and salmon with bold flavors in this Indian-inspired meal that got great reviews when it was first featured in 2017. We've added curry aioli to the original version of this recipe - it's great for dipping okra.
Smarts: Okra is a love-it or hate-it ingredient in our community of cooks. Roasting brings out a texture that may convert even those who think they don't like it, but feel free to use green beans or broccoli in its place.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 450F / 232C.
  2. Toss okra with oil and spread onto a sheet pan. Season with some salt. Roast for 20 minutes, shaking once midway through.
  3. When okra is about halfway through roasting, heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add half the curry butter (reserve the other half) and then onions and carrots to melted butter. Saute until tender and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside and return pan to medium heat.
  4. Add remaining half of curry butter and then salmon to melted butter. Sear for 2 minutes. Flip over and sear for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in enough stock to shallowly cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with lid, lower heat, and simmer fish for another 3 to 5 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve salmon with carrots, okra, and aioli on the side. Squeeze lime wedges over the entire dish. Enjoy!
