Publix has wild sockeye salmon on sale this week. Sure would like to make this sauce if I can find lemongrass.

SEARED SALMON WITH COCONUT THAI CURRY SAUCE (Epicurean Mom)

1 tablespoon lemongrass, finely minced

1/2 teaspoon garlic, chopped

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

1 can coconut milk, about 14 ounces (I used *lite* Thai kitchen)

1 teaspoon red curry paste

1 1/2 teaspoons honey

1 1/2 teaspoons lemon, juiced

1/2 teaspoon salt

Pinch of pepper

1 teaspoon chives, minced

2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

3-6oz salmon fillets

1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa or basmati rice

Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium-medium/low heat. Add lemongrass and garlic, sauteing until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and red curry paste, stir until completely dissolved. Add honey, lemon, salt and pepper. Bring to a slow boil, turn down heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chives, cover and set aside.

Preheat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy bottomed cast iron skillet or saute pan over medium heat, for 2 minutes. Sprinkle both sides of salmon fillets with salt and pepper, add to heated pan. Turn heat to medium-high heat and cook for 3 minutes. Flip fillets and cook for 5 minutes, until browning, or flakes easily with a fork (cooking time depends on fillet thickness.)

Spoon 1/3 quinoa/rice onto an individual plate. Place one salmon fillet on top and spoon 1/3 of coconut thai sauce over salmon. Repeat with remaining fillets.
