- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 piece red bell pepper

Instructions
Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and set them aside.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper and wash the baby spinach. Chop the fresh cilantro for garnish.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the Thai red curry paste to the skillet and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice to the curry sauce. Stir well to balance the flavors.
