A punchy, creamy coconut curry sauce with a sweet, caramelised fillet of salmon and lots of sticky rice to soak up all that sauce. This dinner makes a change from a classic Thai curry but with all of those flavours that are so familiar.
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Preheat the oven to 190°C fan. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place one of the oven racks close-ish to the top.
Make a glaze for the salmon by mixing half of the brown sugar, garlic granules and curry powder with a dash of olive oil to make a paste. Place the salmon, skin side down on the baking sheet. Rub the glaze liberally over the top part of the salmon. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes
Heat a little more **olive oil **over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger paste and fry for 20 seconds. Add the remaining brown sugar and Thai curry paste; cook for 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk. Season with fish sauce, soy, lime juice, and lime zest to taste. Add spinach; stir into the sauce until wilted.
Cook rice according to package instructions.
Place the cooked salmon onto the rice. Cover with sauce, lime juice, and fresh coriander.
