I will always be a hot meal lover. I still love a smoothie or a salad, but there is nothing like a hot, nourishing home cooked meal for dinner. And wouldn't you know, hot meals not only feel nourishing, they actually are for your body especially on your luteal phase! This recipe is packed with luteal phase benefits and comes together in 20 minutes, tops. It's a weekly favorite of mine no matter which phase.
Ingredients:
Makes 4 servings
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 13 oz can full fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 1/2 sweet onion
- juice of 1 1/2 lime
- 2 tbsp chopped basil
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil
- rice
Directions:
- Make your rice if needed (day old rice works great as well). Preheat a large pan over medium heat.
- Chop or julienne the onion.
- Chop your salmon into bite sized chunks, then season with the juice of 1/2 lime, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add to the pan and cook on one side for 3 minutes, then flip to the other side and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the salmon from the pan once done.
- Combine the onion, ginger, coconut milk, curry paste, coconut sugar, and remaining lime juice in the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Then, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the salmon back to the pan and turn off the heat. Serve the curry sauce and salmon over rice with extra basil on top.
This easy meal needs to be on your weekly meal rotation! It's quick, satiating, and delicious, and you can sub the salmon for chicken, tofu, shrimp, or even white fish. You can add a side of extra veggies if you're feeling fancy, but this is a well balanced meal either way. Enjoy! 🫶
