For the best flavor, use high-quality, fresh salmon. Wild Alaskan king salmon or Copper River salmon are excellent choices when in season. The coconut-curry butter sauce can be made ahead of time and gently reheated before serving. Be sure to keep the heat low to prevent separation. Adjust the amount of curry powder to suit your taste preference. Start with less and add more as needed. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a small amount of cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water) during the reduction process. Serve with a side of steamed rice or roasted vegetables to complete the meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Coconut-Curry Butter: In a saucepan, combine white wine, heavy cream, and coconut milk. Season with curry powder. (2 minutes)
02
StepBring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to gently simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup. (Approximately 10 minutes)
03
StepReduce heat to low and whisk in the cold butter, a few pieces at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. Be careful not to let the sauce boil, as this will cause it to separate. (5 minutes)
04
StepOnce all the butter is incorporated, season to taste with salt and set aside in a warm place.
05
StepPrepare the Salmon: Heat vegetable oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer and is nearly smoking. (3 minutes)
06
StepWhile the oil is heating, season both sides of the salmon fillets with garam masala and salt. (1 minute)
07
StepSear the Salmon: Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets in the hot pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy. (3-4 minutes)
08
StepTurn the salmon over and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (2-3 minutes)
09
StepDrain briefly on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
10
StepServe: Immediately serve the seared salmon with a generous portion of the coconut-curry butter sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
