Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on preferable)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine grated ginger, curry powder, and minced garlic. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the edges begin to turn opaque.

Step 4

Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, stir in the ginger-garlic-curry mixture. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding lemon juice and stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 7

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the curry-ginger sauce over the top of each piece. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through and infuse the salmon with flavor.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the salmon with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 9

Serve the salmon immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy!
