Cooking Instructions
  1. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the salmon skin-side down for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until almost cooked through, then remove from skillet.
  4. Lower the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon of butter, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute.
  5. Add cherry tomatoes and curry powder, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
  6. Pour in the coconut milk and scrape any browned bits from the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Return the seared salmon to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top, and let it simmer for an additional 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
