Thai Salmon Curry with Fresh Mango

My new friend, another jewelry artist came over for lunch last week and we talked "beads" for almost two hours. She is as passionate about making jewelry as I am. For lunch I made this dish and it was delicious. Easy and fast, all in ten minutes.

3 Salmon pieces, I used Costco's frozen packaged pieces, thaw over nite in refrigerator, about 1 pound

1 small yellow onion, cut in wedges

2 Serrano chillis, cut in 1/4 inch pieces, seeds ok

1 cup of fresh mango pieces, peel first, 1" cubes ( from my Haden Mango tree )

6 oz coconut milk

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp curry powder

8 Thai basil leaves

salt and pepper

Heat large fry pan until almost smoking, add olive oil and onion pieces, salt and pepper, stir fry for 2 minutes, add salmon pieces and sprinkle with curry powder. Fry a few minutes, then turn over. Add the rest of ingredients, lower heat and simmer for another 5 minutes or until Salmon is done.

I served this with a salad of romaine, orange pepper slices, and red onion sliced thin, and a poppy citrus dressing. You can also serve this over brown rice to soak up the sauce, which is very delicious, my left over portion was served with brown rice and hot mango chutney.

Yum to the tenth!
