Salmon and Vegetable Curry

July 5, 2017 | 30 Minute Meals, Fish & Seafood, Freezable Meals, Make-ahead Meals

Salmon vegetable curry - This healthy Salmon Vegetable Curry takes 15 minutes to prepare & cook and is the most delicious way to eat salmon. It's a fast, nourishing family meal that caters to loads of dietary requirements.

This Salmon Vegetable Curry is a quick, easy to make delicious meal that even my fish-fussy kids adore. My daughter has become progressively fish fussy as she’s got older. Where she would happily eat all seafood, including slurping back a slimy oyster as a toddler, she now balks at a plain piece of grilled fish. It’s funny because I remember disliking anything fishy as a teenager too, so I can kind of sympathise.

But instead of no longer serving fish to cater to her fussiness, we’ve worked together to find ways of serving it that she enjoys, and this light Salmon Curry is now my whole families favourite way to eat fish. You can certainly make it with any firm white fish, however there’s something about the oiliness of the salmon that sits particularly well with the spices in this mild curry.

It literally takes 15 minutes to prepare and cook so it’s a win win all round.

Health benefits

The beautiful warming spices in this curry are supportive to the digestive system and are lovely anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant herbs. This is one very nourishing meal.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit any specific dietary requirements.

Method

  • In a pan over medium heat, heat the butter, ghee or olive oil. Add onions, garlic, ginger and cook until starting to soften but not brown.
  • Add tomatoes, cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, chill flakes and sea salt and cook for about 1 to 2 mins until fragrant.
  • Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer for 2-3 mins.
  • Add fish, capsicum and beans and cook for about 3 to 5 mins or until cooked through.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves.

Tip

  • You can substitute the salmon for a firm white fish too (I love it with king fish).

Serve

  • Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice.

Make-ahead

  • Re-heat in a pot over a low heat until just hot.

Store

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Can also be frozen.

Variations

Coconut-free

Substitute the coconut milk with regular pouring cream or cashew nut cream.

Vegetarian and vegan

Substitute the fish with tempeh, firm tofu, chickpeas or just extra vegetables.

Onion and garlic-free

Replace the onion with finely diced fennel and the garlic with a 2cm spices of finely grated ginger.

Chicken curry

I've had a few people say they love this as a chicken curry. Swap the fish for chicken (you'll need to cook for longer until the chicken is cooked through).

    Hi Georgia,

    This recipe looks delicious. I’d like to try it however I’m following the low-fodmap guidelines. Do you think the recipe would still work without using onions and garlic? Do you have any alternative suggestions?

    Thank you!

      Sure – you could leave it out or perhaps you could finish the curry with a little drizzle of garlic oil (if that suits) G x

    I live alone which make recipes difficult if they are for 4 or 6. Just not the same flavour if you try to divide ingredients. Can I freeze this recipe? Or would it be better to I make sauce and freeze then add fish later.

    January 3, 2018

    • Georgia Harding says

      Hi Lorraine. With this one, I completely understand. I’d freeze the sauce and add the salmon fresh (mainly because most salmon is has been frozen when you buy it and fish is very delicate and always best fresh). With my chicken curries/ dishes, it is fine to freeze the end product. G x

    Love this salmon and veg curry recipe and all the wonderful information and recipes you have. I’m a Grandmother passionate about what we eat and some control over what my grandchildren eat when they visit!! I live in Perth and the shop you mentioned re good salmon is very close to home. I’m visiting friends in Tassie at the moment so am cooking the salmon for them tonight!! I hope to try many of your lunchbox recipes and pass them onto my grandchildren to try…
    Thank you so much for access to your information and recipes. Keep up the good work. Jackie

    What a beautiful recipe! I’ve made lots of similar things in the past & they’ve always turned out pretty mediocre but this is unbelievable! Very basic ingredients but the flavour is next level! I did use ling fish & I didn’t have a capsicum so I used sweet potato & some spinach just to pump up the veggie intake. My 14 month old son LOVED this! Will be making this again for sure. I’ve just come across your page & am so looking forward to making many more recipes for the family. Thank you! X

    Hi Georgia, thank you so much for this amazing recipe! So quick and easy (I made it in the Thermomix). I didn’t have green beans so used spinach I had in the fridge, and just ginger powder as didn’t have fresh ginger, and I left out the chilli on account of the kids. They are fussy buggers but they really liked this one. I’ve frozen the leftovers so hopefully it’ll thaw ok and we can eat it again! So thrilled to have found your website, I’ve been telling everyone I know about it xx

    I loved the idea of salmon and the suggested veggies were great. I’ve made 5 of your recipes and this was the only one we thought wasn’t perfect. Just not enough ‘curry’ flavour for us, as we eat curries a lot. I did double all 3 spices. Will still make again, but I might add mustard seeds and curry leaves. I can imagine that it is good bridging curry, especially for younger kids.

    All these fantastic reviews, how could I not give it a go.
    So glad I did, super easy, super tasty, super healthy.
    I used the serving scale to change from 4 to 6 servings and it was enough with rice and pappadums to serve a hungry crew.
    Many great comments from my family and young adult friends, none of them had ever had a fish curry before and all loved it.
    Thanks Georgia it is satisfying to know I can cook any one of your recipes and it will be successful, I know you must put many hours into making this happen so thank you from me and my tribe 🙂
