Has anyone got any idea whether salmon curry would taste ok?

I cooked salmon fillets (found in the freezer, bought on BOGOF ages ago!) last night for dinner but when hubby got home from volunteering I found out he'd been fed there.

The meal plan for tonight is vegetable curry - can I add the pan fried salmon to this or will it taste really weird?

Any ideas gratefully appreciated!

We used to go to an indian restaurant regularly .... before MSE..... and they sold salmon bhuna chunks of salmon. It was lovely.

Don't know if this helps but we do a meal which is basically fried up onions, mushrooms and grill cooked salmon (along with whatever other veg we decide to chuck in) with the odd spoonful of curry powder to make a very mild curry (otherwise the kids won't eat it!). Ours comes out fairly dry as we prefer it that way rather than lobbing loads of tomato etc in, but we find the touch of curry powder brings out the salmon flavour nicely. I don't see any problem with adding it into a veg curry either if you choose to - salmon isn't really a very strong flavour and won't really affect a curry.

In one word, AWFUL.

Try this instead

4 oz of mushrooms
4 oz Cheap prawns ( I use Tesco Frozen Basics)
Odds from salad or veg drawer, bits of pepper, spinnacn (Fresh), celery or tomatoes

Fry up the above until cooked in butter, then place in the bottom of presentation dish

Heat pan to very hot, add knob of butter. Fry the Salmon Filler, skin down first for about 15 mins.

Home made parsley sauce and peas to go with it.

If it works for prawns, it'll work for salmon Salmon curry is delicious

I'll add this to the existing thread on what to do with salmon, later.

Thanks, but I hate prawns and hubby hates mushrooms!

I think I'll go with the bhuna idea - thank you!

:eek: fish and curry in the same meal is not something I can comprehend at all, sorry!

I've had salmon curry a few times in south India and its lovely, this is a recipe I've got at home

Spice mix -
6 dried chillies
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon corriander seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground tumeric

3 tablespoons oil
2 finely chopped onions plus one finely sliced onion
1 ripe tomato chopped
8 garlic cloves chopped
6 green chillies chopped
5cm piece of fresh ginger grated
100ml tamarind puree
3 tablespoons coconut cream
1kg salmon pieces

Method
Finely grind all the spice mix together adding the ground tumeric and masala at the end
Heat the oil over a low heat in a heavy based frying pan which is big enough to hold all the salmon in one layer
Add the sliced onion and fry until golden, then add the tomato, chopped onions, garlic, green chilli, grated ginger and fry stirring occassionaly for 20 minutes or until the oil separates from the sauce
Add the spice mix into the sauce in the frying pan and bring to the boil, add the coconut cream and stir until combined. Season with salt to your taste.
Add the pieces of fish to the sauce and bring to the boil - simmer for 5 minutes then turn the pieces of fish over and cook for another 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through. (If you find the sauce to dry I just add a little water to loosen it a bit).

Nice served with indian breads and a cucumber/onion/tomato salad dressed with lime on the side.

Yum! Just add the salmon once the curry's cooked to warm it through x
