Servings:

1.5 lbs Salmon about 3-4 filets; skin removed
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 tablespoon Avocado Oil
2 tablespoon Ginger grated
2 tablespoon Garlic grated or finely minced
4 Thai Chili optional; thinly sliced; more or less to taste
1/4 cup Thai Red Curry Paste
1 tablespoon Palm Sugar can substitute with brown sugar
14 oz Full Fat Coconut Milk I used 1 can of Thai Kitchen Unsweetened Full-Fat Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Water
1 teaspoon Light Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Fish Sauce can substitute with additional soy sauce
2 cups Baby Spinach
1 Lime juice and zest; additional to serve
Fresh Cilantro optional to serve
White Rice optional to serve

Cut salmon into 2 inch pieces and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl combine the grated ginger, grated garlic, and thinly sliced Thai red chilis if you're using them. Heat the avocado oil in a large high-rimmed sauté pan over medium heat. Add the prepared ginger, garlic, and chilis. Cook for 30 seconds-1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Add the Thai red curry paste and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the sugar, stir to combine into the curry paste, and cook for another minute.
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir well to combine with the other ingredients. Add the soy sauce and fish sauce then increase the temperature to bring to a boil.
Once boiling, lower the heat to simmer, add the salmon pieces, then cover with a lid. After 3 minutes, flip the salmon over, cover with a lid, and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add the spinach. The spinach should wilt quickly from the heat of the curry. Add the zest and juice of 1 lime.
Serve the salmon coconut curry over white rice. Top with cilantro and additional lime juice as desired.
