Red Curry Salmon with Coconut Brown Rice
- 1 cup Brown Rice
- 1 cup Light Coconut Milk
- 1- 1/2 cup Water
- 4 whole Scallions (green Onions), Green Parts Only, Thinly Sliced
- 4 whole 5-ounce Size, Salmon Fillets
- 1 Tablespoon Thai Red Curry Paste (see Note)
- 2 teaspoons Light Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 whole Lime, Quartered
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Combine the brown rice, coconut milk, and water in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Over high heat, bring the mixture to a boil.
- As soon as it begins to boil, reduce the heat to a very low simmer.
- Put the lid on the pot and allow to simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until all of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the pot from the heat and allow to rest, covered, for at least 5 minutes, or until you are ready to serve.
- Just before serving, stir in the sliced scallions.
- Turn on the ovens broiler.
- Place a wire rack on top of a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the wire rack with olive oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets about 3 inches apart on the wire rack.
- Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Put the pan of salmon fillets under the broiler for 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl whisk together the red curry paste, light brown sugar, soy sauce and olive oil.
- Remove the partially-cooked salmon fillets from the oven and brush the red curry mixture evenly over the top of each.
- Return the salmon to the oven and continue broiling until the tops turn brown and the salmon is cooked through, 2-4 minutes more.
- Serve each salmon fillet over about 3/4 cup brown rice.
- Serve each with a quarter of lime for squeezing over the top.
- Note: Thai red curry paste usually contains some combination of shallot, lemongrass, chilies, garlic, cilantro, and galangal (a root that tastes different than, but looks similar to ginger).
- Red curry paste is available in the international section of many grocery stores, although it may be either in the refrigerated section (often near the herbs) or in a shelf-stable variety near the other Asian dried goods.
