Instructions
- Start with the lime mayonnaise. Stir in the lime juice and the zest into the mayonnaise. Add salt to taste. Set aside until serving.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan or a wok on fairly high heat. Add cabbage, curry paste, and water. Sauté until the cabbage has softened, but is still chewy. Stir thoroughly. Salt and pepper. Add the sesame oil towards the end and keep hot while frying the salmon.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the sesame seeds to a plate and dip the salmon to cover.
- Fry the salmon in coconut oil on medium-high heat for a couple of minutes on each side. Pour fat/juices over the salmon during cooking in order to keep it warm and moist.
- Serve the salmon with curry cabbage, lime mayonnaise, and a lime wedge.
Tip!
Let the salmon sit at room temperature before frying, so it's not cold when you add it to the frying pan. If you add a piece of cold salmon to your pan the temperature drops, and you will end up with boiled fish instead of sautéed. You could also add cilantro to the mayo, for an extra depth of flavor!
