Instant Pot Keto Thai Salmon Curry Original Recipes

CURRY SALMON WITH COCONUT MILK AND BOK CHOY

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium heat, dry-fry mustard seeds until they start to pop just slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, set aside, and allow mustard seeds to cool. To a mortar and pestle or single-serve blender attachment, add all curry paste ingredients and grind or pulse until well-combined. Set aside.
• Cut the salmon into 1-inch x 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
• Prepare Sauce: In the same pan used to prepare the curry paste, heat oil and fry prepared Curry Paste for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it doesn't stick to the pan. Stir in coconut milk, vegetable broth, coconut aminos, fish sauce, tomatoes, and black pepper. Cover pan with lid and cook on medium heat until sauce starts to reduce, about 5-6 minutes.
• To the pan of cooked Curry Paste, add cubed salmon and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, before adding the bok choy and greens beans to cook until slightly wilted and softened, about 1-2 minutes. Add lime juice. Taste mixture and, as needed, adjust seasoning to your preferences. Serve in bowls (optionally: serve on top of steamed cauliflower rice) and garnish with chopped cilantro.

EASY SALMON GREEN CURRY (1 POT!)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the shallots, garlic, ginger, and serrano (optional) and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
• Add the sweet potato, cauliflower (or other veggie of choice), and red bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to soften slightly.
• Add the green curry paste (starting with the lesser amount and using only 2-3 Tbsp if subbing store-bought), water, coconut milk, coconut aminos, maple syrup or honey (optional), and salt (omit if using store-bought curry paste) and stir. Taste the broth - it should be subtly spicy and a little rich, sweet, salty, and bright. Adjust if needed, adding more curry paste for curry flavor, ginger for freshness and zing, coconut aminos for saltiness, serrano for heat, maple syrup for sweetness, or lemon or lime juice for brightness (you'll likely need the lemon/lime if using store-bought curry paste but not if using homemade).
• Cover and simmer until the vegetables are fork tender - about 5-10 minutes. Then stir in the cubed salmon and chopped kale (or collard greens or spinach // optional), reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently until just cooked through - about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust once more, adding lemon or lime juice for brightness, maple syrup for sweetness, coconut aminos for depth, or salt to taste.
• Serve warm garnished with freshly chopped basil or cilantro and/or chopped roasted cashews (all optional). It pairs well with rice (brown or white), coconut rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa.
• Leftovers will keep stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat gently on the stovetop until warmed through.
