1/2 tsp. Red Curry Paste
1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk
1 tsp. Lemon zest (minced)
1 cup Honey
2 fluid ounces Sake
2 tsp. Sesame oil
8 ounce Mushrooms, shiitake, raw (thinly sliced)
8 Ounces Fresh atlantic salmon (2 4-ounce filets)
1 Tbsp. Low sodium soy sauce (or gluten free tamari sauce)
2 9 sprigs Coriander (cilantro) leaves, raw

Instructions

Place a large non-stick skillet in the oven and preheat to 400°F.

Check every 3 minutes or so and shake the pan.

After about 10 - 12 minutes, the mushrooms will be a roasted brown.

Recipe Notes

This is a really delicious recipe and one of those that you should be able to make from ingredients in your well stocked pantry.

Limes keep well, as do cans of coconut milk, sake (or even dry white wine), and hot red bean paste (or sambal or harissa – see below). If you keep these ingredients on hand, it will be easier and easier to cook and eat healthy.

While this recipe calls for red bean paste, you could use similar hot sauces in a pinch, such as sambal or harissa. The amount will depend on how hot the harissa or sambal is – I’ve had some that are very mild and some that could curl your eyelashes.
