Low Carb Salmon Thai Red Curry
Low Carb Salmon Thai Red Curry
This low carb Thai curry is packed with aromatic herbs and spices, creamy coconut and omega 3 rich salmon. The curry paste is made from scratch and requires the use of a good food processor! The curry is served over a portion of cauliflower rice but would be just as delicious with courgette noodles.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 2 salmon skinless and roughly diced
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 2.5 cm fresh ginger peeled
