Ingredients
  

For the One-Skillet Salmon
  • 2 fillets salmon fresh, flaky
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 leeks cleaned and sliced
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs your choice, like dill, parsley, or cilantro
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Step 2: Add the sliced leeks and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the curry powder and cook for an additional minute, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Push the leeks to the side of the skillet and place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: While the salmon cooks, combine the yogurt, fresh herbs, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Step 6: Serve the salmon on a plate topped with the curried leeks and a generous dollop of the yogurt-herb sauce.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the salmon.
