Grilled Salmon with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce
Adapted from Wei Chuan's Thai Cooking Made Easy. I used panang curry paste, but red curry paste would work nicely too (red curry paste is spicier so use less if you like). If you can find kaffir lime leaves, definitely use them as they add nice fresh citrusy flavor to this dish. I served this dish with Steamed Brown Rice and Stir-Fry Baby Bok Choy.
