Garam Masala Seared Salmon with Coconut-Curry Butter

By: Ryan Nomura 
"Here's a new way to incorporate South Indian flavors. Try and get fresh wild king or Copper River salmon while they are in season. Fresh sockeye would also work, use whatever is the freshest available."

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 cup cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 8 (6 ounce) fillets Alaskan king salmon
  • 2 tablespoons garam masala
  • kosher salt to taste

Directions

  1. Pour white wine, cream, and coconut milk into a saucepan; season with curry powder. Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the liquid has reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes.
  2. When the liquid has reduced, turn heat to low, and whisk in the butter, a few cubes at a time, until all of the butter has incorporated. Do not allow the mixture to boil or else it will separate. When the butter has incorporated, season to taste with salt and set aside to keep warm.
  3. Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. While the oil is heating, lightly season both sides of the salmon with garam masala and salt.
  4. Sear the salmon in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then turn over, and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until done. Briefly drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil, then serve immediately with the curry butter sauce.
