Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the salmon by cutting it into four equal pieces, patting dry, and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  2. Pan-sear the salmon in a skillet with olive oil and butter until skin is crisp, about 5 minutes; flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. Sauté onions in the same skillet until translucent, then add garlic and Thai red curry paste, cooking until fragrant.
  4. Create the sauce by adding fish sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, carrots, and broccolini. Simmer until veggies are tender-crisp.
  5. Finish by adding lime juice and return the salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over to warm through.
  6. Serve in bowls topped with sauce, veggies, and garnished with basil and cilantro.
