If you want to make this salad even simpler, buy only the garam masala, which is an Indian spice blend that often includes the other five spices in this recipe plus cloves, cardamom, fennel, mace or nutmeg. The benefit of using all the spices instead of just garam masala, however, is that you can customize the flavor. Love to feel the burn? Then don\u2019t hold back on the cayenne or garam masala. Does spicy food make you cry? Then cumin, coriander and cinnamon are your friends. Amy blends the spices with coconut milk for a quick and easy dressing. She also uses them to lightly season the salmon.<\/p>\n<p>Pan-frying the salmon in coconut oil gives the fish a crispy, almost caramelized coating. We recommend searing it on both sides, first skin side up for 4-6 minutes, then after adding a little more oil, flip the fish and keep it in the pan until the skin is crispy. When the salmon cools, toss it in a bowl with all the other ingredients. Or, do what Amy does when she\u2019s taking her Curried Salmon Salad to go: simply throw everything into a Tupperware container and shake well before eating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Servings: 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Curry Salmon Salad Ingredients\" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/ingredients-32.jpg\" alt=\"ingredients 32\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 4-6oz salmon fillet (for college students without a kitchen or anyone on a tight budget, consider using canned salmon instead)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2- 1 tablespoon <a title=\"Smart Fuel: Coconut Oil\" href=\"http:\/\/www.marksdailyapple.com\/coconut-oil-health-benefits\/\" >coconut oil<\/a> (for cooking fresh salmon)<\/li>\n<li>2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 avocado, cut into chunks<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoon sliced or slivered almonds<\/li>\n<li>2-3 tablespoon chopped green onions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Dressing:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Curry Dressing Spices\" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/spices-1.jpg\" alt=\"spices 1\" width=\"359\" height=\"262\" \/><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2-3 tablespoons coconut milk (or more, depending on how much dressing you like on your salad)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon turmeric<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon garam masala<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon coriander<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon cumin<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>dash of cayenne pepper<\/li>\n<li>*optional: 1\/2 tsp of coconut flour to thicken dressing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Season salmon with coriander, cumin and garam masala then pan-fry the fillet in coconut oil.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Curried Salmon Spices\" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/blendingsaladdressing.jpg\" alt=\"blendingsaladdressing\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Pan Fry Salmon\" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/searingsalmonstep1.jpg\" alt=\"searingsalmonstep1\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Pan Fry Salmon\" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/searingsalmonstep2.jpg\" alt=\"searingsalmonstep2\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Flake salmon into small pieces and mix with other ingredients.
