Ever since my friend cooked curry for me in college, I’ve been obsessed with this flavorful & creamy, nutrient-packed meal. This coconut lentil curry salmon dish is an easy salmon curry recipe for anyone who's gluten-free, dairy-free, or just looking to add more variety into their diet.
The best part is that it all comes together in one pan, in under 30 minutes, making it an easy weeknight dinner. The trick is to layer the ingredients, adding flavor in every step of the cooking process. And don’t skimp out on the herbs — the mint, green onions, and cilantro add a whole new zing to the dish.
Made with anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic, and paired with fiber-rich lentils and protein-packed salmon, this dish delivers on everything you could ask for in a meal — it’s simple, nourishing, and delicious!
Looking for a gluten-free, dairy-free curry your whole family can eat? Swap the salmon for tofu for a vegan curry with tofu option that keeps all the same flavor.
