My salmon curry is delicious and it is a perfect dish for that special meal.

This succulent fish is poached in a light tomato curry sauce which does not overpower the delicate salmon flavour. It is such a balance of flavours that I am sure you will love it… and so will your dinner guests.

Serve this with fluffy and fragrant rice, see recipe here and also Spiced Cauliflower, see recipe here.
