Salmon Tomato Coconut Curry
This is one of my go-to recipes during the week, because it’s easy to prepare, tastes great and delivers you a dose of Omega 3s!I used to make this as a sauce over a whole salmon fillet, but found doing it this way cuts out the step of cooking the salmon separately, genius.Pair it up with my coconut cauliflower rice which can be prepped and thrown together as the sauce simmers.I think this would work beautifully with prawns as well. Happy cooking!
