Easy Salmon Fish Curry

Things have been pretty busy here for me as we are moving back to India after a good year here, at Hong Kong. This country has been a mixed experience for me personally. With all the packing and travel arrangements, blogging has slightly taken a back seat. I am keeping the meals as simple as possible so that I can manage other things at home. Here is a simple fish curry that I have repeated twice this week and we love it. Here is how to do an easy and quick salmon fish curry. I served it with rice and settled down in the evening with a couple of hours or more of binge watching on Netflix.

This curry does not have any onions added to it. So one chopping chore less.

Take a pan and add in a tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan. When hot, add in the mustard seeds, sliced green chillies, curry leaves and finely minced ginger. Saute for a minute.

Add in the chopped tomatoes. Add in two teaspoon of tamarind paste. I have used homemade tamarind paste. Homemade tamarind paste makes life so easier. I make it once a month and store it in the fridge. It comes in very handy. Here is the recipe for homemade tamarind paste. Add in the red chilli powder and turmeric powder. Add in the salt. Saute for five minutes till the tomatoes are soft.

Add in half a cup of water and half a cup of canned coconut milk. Add in the fish pieces. Cover with a lid and let the curry simmer for 10 minutes on a medium flame.

  1. This is my first attempt cooking Indian food and esp as a novice cook . Though the recipe would require basic knowledge about the correct way to prepare the ingredients the Indian way including stir frying the spices and all but this dish came out wonderfully to my delight and my family enjoyed it to the last drop. Thank you so much. It is such an encouragement to me to continue cooking. 🙂






  2. Hello! I made it as per recipe and it came out SUPER spicy. So spicy I had to find ways to tone down the heat. I tried adding more tomatoes, more coconut milk and finally resorted to a big spoonful of peanut butter then only did the spice tone down. Is it meant to be this spicy?? I had also removed all the seeds in the chilli 🙁

  3. Hello
    I will be cooking fish for the first time, are there any substitutes for coconut oil and coconut milk … as v don’t get them here …. even if v do get the quality is not good.

  4. I tried this today with salmon, it was easy and yummy and did not get too much of fishy smell. Thank You.






  5. Hi Suguna,

    You have a great website with awesome recipes. I am looking for a fish recipe that does not smell much. Could you please let me know if this salmon fish curry smell? Thanks.

    1. Hi Kavitha, Salmon does not have a very fishy smell. You can try this recipe. Even Halibut, Tilapia can be tried if you dont like fishy smell. Buy steaks and avoid fish with skin and the bone if you dont like the smell.
