FAQs

1. Can I use frozen salmon?

Yes. Thaw it fully and pat dry before cooking.

2. What curry paste works best?

Red curry paste gives a spicier flavor, while yellow curry paste is mild and creamy.

3. Can I make it dairy-free?

It already is! Coconut milk replaces all dairy.

4. Can I use another fish?

Yes—cod, halibut, sea bass, or tilapia all work well.

5. How to store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the salmon.

6. Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely. Bell peppers, spinach, green beans, peas, or carrots are excellent additions.
