You probably know by now, how much I love to work with, and eat dishes created with my yellow curry paste as the base. As an interesting aside, when I made my Indian Turkey Burger recipe for my colleague, she said that I should package these in little containers to freeze them. Then, I can pull them out one at a time when I need them. This made me realize that this is how a lot of restaurants work and families work that cook this type of food all the time. I could make this Yellow Curry Seafood whenever I wanted. Great concept to utilize going forward.
Yellow Curry Seafood
What I do is divide each batch in half. The base recipe makes probably enough for 6 different meals. So each batch for me gives me the chance to create three different dishes and meals at a time. This Yellow Curry Seafood is totally made up without referring to any recipe for guidance. Pretty good for a home chef of American origin. The sauce has so much flavor, it would taste good on a shoe. Note to self. Do not make a recipe with a shoe.
The recipe is so easy to create. The yellow curry base is added to a skillet with oil in it to release the essence of the ingredients. Then, coconut milk is added to make the sauce creamy. In this dish, I put in lots of different vegetables. Grab whatever vegetables you like. I used a number of traditional Asian influenced vegetables including pea pods, bamboo shoots and baby corn. I also added red peppers for texture and spinach for color. I picked up salmon and sea bass at the store because it looked good and I like these types of fish. They are also sturdy enough to hold up to the quasi stir fry cooking method I utilized.
- 1 1/4 pounds salmon
- 6 ounces sea bass
- 13.5 ounce can of coconut milk

This fish curry sounds absolutely lovely! And easy too!
Easy but not short on flavor.
Great choice of fish and I love all the vegies you put into it.
The flavor is all from the curry. This dish could be vegetarian. You could use chicken. You could use a shoe!
