Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Add the Thai red curry paste to the saucepan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce or sugar if needed.
