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

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and curry powder on both sides.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
  7. Enjoy the succulent pan-fried salmon in curry cream sauce with steamed rice or a side of roasted vegetables.
