Coconut Curry salmon

Pan- Fried Jamaican Coconut Curry Salmon

This coconut curry salmon is seriously amazing, The salmon is perfectly seasoned. Made with flavorful Jamaican curry powder, pan-fried, and then simmered in creamy curry coconut milk. A side of rice soaks up all that delicious curry gravy.  The salmon is a little masked by the bold flavors of this coconut curry sauce, so if you are not a big fan of salmon this dish may be perfect for you.
