This recipe is a must-try for those looking to eat more heart-healthy salmon. Stir-frying it in a tropical curry sauce rich with the flavor and aroma of coconut is both speedy and wonderfully unexpected. We like the combination of crunchy sugar snap peas and sweet bell peppers in this stir-fry, but you can also substitute other stir-fry standards like green beans, asparagus, or broccoli florets. Spooning the fragrant mixture over either jasmine or basmati rice to serve would be a natural addition, but cooked quinoa would be an excellent partner too. Serve with extra cilantro and fresh lime wedges if you’d like.
