Prepare the Salmon:
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Set aside.
SautΓ© Garlic and Chili:
In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add garlic and chili flakes, sautΓ©ing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Cook the Vegetables:
Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, cooking until softened (about 4-5 minutes).
Make the Curry Sauce:
Stir in coconut milk, red curry paste, honey, soy sauce, turmeric, cumin, and lime juice. Bring to a simmer, letting it thicken slightly.
Cook the Salmon:
Gently place the salmon fillets into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
Serve:
Serve the salmon with the bell pepper curry sauce over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and extra lime wedges if desired.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a light cucumber salad to balance the richness of the curry. π₯π
