It’s Monday! We all know what that means, 30 minutes or less! Today, we are going to take a look at how to cook Thai Curry Salmon with sticky rice in under 30 minutes. Let’s get to it.

3:50 pm – Getting Started

The first step is to get the rice going. For the rice I used, it is a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water. I used 1 cup of sticky rice or sushi rice and 1 1/2 cups of water. This goes in a pot, gets brought to a boil, then simmered for 12 minutes. To finish the rice has to sit for 5 minutes. That’s it.

So, I got the rice going and I put a 10-inch non-stick pan on the stove over medium heat.

3:52 pm Vegetables

With the rice going and the pan heating up I got to work prepping the vegetables. I cut three green onions separating the greens and the whites. The whites I chopped into thumb width pieces. The greens I sliced thinly to be used for garnish later.

I thinly sliced half an orange pepper, (use whatever colour of pepper you would like) and 1 clove of garlic.

3:54 pm Salmon

By the time I was done cutting the vegetables my pan was hot. I added in 1 tsp of oil then the salmon.

3:55 pm Rice

When I put the salmon in the pan, the rice started to boil. I turned the heat down to simmer and put a lid on the pot. I set a 12-minute timmer and moved on to the next task.

3:56 pm Flip the Salmon

The salmon had been cooking for about two minutes and had a nice sear so I flipped to get a little colour on the other side.

3:57 pm Salmon out of the pan

I cooked the salmon for one more minute then removed it from the pan. Then, I added in the green onions, bell pepper, and garlic.

3:59 pm Peas

While the peppers and things were cooking I got to work prepping some snow peas. There is a thread the runs the length of the snow pea and it isn’t very good to eat. To get rid of it, I grabbed the top of the snow pea, broke off the very end and pulled down. After I did this to all the snow peas I cut them into thirds.

4:00 pm Ginger

I added the snow peas into the pan along with 1 tsp of grated ginger.

4:01 pm Curry Paste

Next up, I added in 2 big tablespoons of Thai Red Curry paste. I cooked the curry paste for about 1 minute.

4:02 pm Coconut Milk

Next up, I added 1 cup of coconut milk into the pan. I brought this to a boil then added the salmon back into the pan and turned the heat down to a simmer.

4:04 pm Cilantro and Green Onions

While the salmon is simmering I cut up about 2 tbsp of cilantro and the tops of the green onions.

4:05 pm Flip the salmon

After the salmon cooked for about 3 minutes, I flipped it over to cook it evenly.

4:08 pm Rice

At 4:08 pm the rice had been cooking for 12 minutes and was ready to be taken off the heat and left to sit for 5 minutes. I flipped the salmon once last time and removed it from the heat.

4:09 pm Finish the Salmon

To finish the salmon with the juice of 1/2 a lime along with the cilantro and green onions.

4:13 pm Thai Curry Salmon

At 4:13 pm the rice was ready and the salmon was done. That means dinner was ready.

Conclusion

This was a really quick meal that just about everyone will love. All told this took me about 23 minutes. Even if this takes you a little longer you are still going to have a delicious meal in very little time. Give it a shot.
