Salmon Head Curry
- 3/4 pounds Salmon Head (or Any Large Meaty Fish Head)
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 1 whole Red Onion, Peeled & Quartered
- 8 whole Ladies Fingers (Okra), Stem Removed & Cut To 1 Inch Bias Slices
- 3 whole Tomatoes Quartered
- 1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce, Or To Taste
- 1/4 cups Curry Paste
- 3/4 cups Water
- 1/2 cups Coconut Milk
- Bring a pot of water to boil.
- Meanwhile, remove gills and clean fish heads well.
- Turn off heat once water is boiling.
- Place fish heads into the water then flip it after 2 minutes.
- You want it to boil for about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove fish from the water using a slotted spoon and drain in a colander.
- Handle it gently to prevent skin and flesh from tearing or flaking.
- In a clean deep pot, heat the oil then saute the onion for 1 minute.
- Add in the okra, tomato, fish sauce and curry paste.
- Stir fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in water and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in coconut milk and carefully place the fish heads back into the pot.
- Bring to simmer and cover.
- Turn fish heads over after 2-3 minutes and leave to simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Ladle the fish head out of the pan into serving bowl.
- Again, be gentle as cooked fish head will fall apart.
- Pour the rest of the curry sauce and vegetables into the bowl.
- Serve with rice, rice vermicelli or even bread!
- (Notes: If you cant get over the ick factor of fish heads, this works great with slices of fish fillet.
- Just ignore the par-boiling.
- Add the fish slices at the end and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Also, my curry paste already contains all the necessary spices and salt.
- Use one that you prefer and customize!)
