Author Notes
You can buy virtually all of the curry ingredients in jars. I know I have ginger, garlic, curry paste in jars and of course coconut milk is canned. These ingredients make the preparation of the dish really simple. Just pick up some fresh cilantro, scallions and lime when buying the salmon and your are all set. Enjoy!
