I've been trying to simply many parts of my life lately, including my cooking life. ("Trying" is the key word...) While traveling for work, I came across a really interesting article in Real Simple magazine that showcased 3-ingredient recipes. It seemed to fit my "less is more" mantra as of late and gave me an idea for a blog series: Speedy Suppers!
Most of my clients like to cook and even have a few fun recipes up their sleeves; they just struggle finding the time to make tasty, healthy meals for themselves and their families. I wanted to showcase a few recipes that are extremely simple yet flavorful for even the most pressed-for-time cook. (Note: the magazine article I snagged these from considers olive oil, salt, and pepper as "freebies" and doesn't consider them part of the 3 ingredients. I adapted the recipes slightly to accommodate my ingredient preferences.)
This first Speedy Supper features Real Simple's Red Curry-glazed Salmon. I served it with a homemade salad of mixed beans, chopped onion, avocado, red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
Red Curry-glazed Salmon
Ingredients:
4 5-oz pieces salmon filet (or 2 larger pieces, shown here)
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1 tablespoon canola oil (I avoid canola so used sesame oil or coconut oil)
1 teaspoon light brown sugar (I used honey)
Sea salt and black pepper
Instructions:
Heat broiler. Place the salmon on a foil-lined broilerproof baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the curry paste, oil, sugar (honey), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
This is my extra cool Crate and Barrel electric salt and pepper mill:
Dividing evenly, brush the salmon with the curry paste mixture.
Broil until salmon is opaque throughout, 5-7 minutes. Serve with a big salad or mixed veggies.
My favorite part? Leftovers for lunch the next day!
Enjoy - with less stress and more time!
