1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (more for a larger filet)

1–2 teaspoons olive oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 small knob of ginger (minced)

1 tablespoon of lemongrass paste

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon red curry paste

2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce

lots of lime juice and zest

3 cups fresh spinach, chopped

cilantro, basil, mint, or other fresh herbs

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place one of the oven racks close-ish to the top, about 6 inches or so.

Cook rice according to package instructions.

Mix the spices and the olive oil to make a paste. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet. Rub the paste liberally over the top part of the salmon. Bake for 6-12 minutes (depends on salmon thickness and desired doneness – I usually opt for 8-10 minutes). See notes and FAQs for potential broiling issues and alternative methods.

Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and lemongrass; sauté for 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and curry paste; sauté for 3 minutes. Add coconut milk. Season with fish sauce, lime juice, and lime zest to taste. Add spinach; stir into the sauce until wilted.

Place salmon over rice. Cover with sauce, lime juice, and fresh herbs.
