Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and curry powder on both sides.
- Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic cloves, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the turmeric powder and cayenne pepper. Add the tomato paste and honey, stirring until well combined. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Return the salmon fillets to the skillet and coat them in the curry cream sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, gently spooning the sauce over the salmon to ensure even coating.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
- Enjoy the succulent pan-fried salmon in curry cream sauce with steamed rice or a side of roasted vegetables.
