I’m a fan of a slow cooked dinner, seasoning, brining and into the oven for most of the day but the lack of practicality for an evening meal is not lost on me so I tend to try and have my recipes done and dusted in under 30 minutes…..

This one is even quicker and takes about 15 minutes to prepare and being able to get everything in the one pan has to be a real bonus for a mid week meal. This sauce is deliciously creamy, with some heat and flavour from Ginger, Turmeric and Garam masala. Lots of health giving properties and overall this is a such a tasty meal as well as so good for you. If you like heat in your sauce then add in some chili powder to give in some extra bang for your buck.

Salmon in Coconut Turmeric Sauce
Serves 4
4 Salmon Darnes (Hake could be great in this too).
2 tbsp rapeseed coconut or olive oil
1 medium red onion finely diced
1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
2 cloves of garlic peeled chopped and mashed
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt
1/2 can of chopped tomatoes (about 200gr)
4 tbsp coconut cream from the top of a can
4 fl oz water

Heat the oil and add the onion and sweat for about 2 minutes until it softens.
Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 3 minutes.
Stir in the spices and salt then cook for a minute or 2 – add a splash of water if it seems too dry.
Add the tomatoes, water and coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and add the salmon darnes
Cook in the sauce over a medium heat – splash the sauce over the fish occasionally.
Stir through some chopped coriander and serve with some wholegrain rice.
Enjoy!
