This coconut curry salmon stew is light yet savory all while being healthy and flavorful. In a short time you’ll have a Thai inspired stew whose aroma will overtake your kitchen.
After spending 2 weeks in SE Asia 2 months ago, I got spoiled. I had hands down not just the best Thai food I have ever had but some of the best food I have ever had. Ever. Very bold statement I know.
Ever since then, I’ve been thinking about what Thai dish I could make in my slow cooker. I am not claiming this to be a Thai dish (salmon is not a Thai fish) but it’s Thai inspired.
The Sizzlefish salmon in my refrigerator was looking too good to pass up but you can also use a firm, white fish with this recipe if you want. If you go the white fish route I recommend a fish like cod, haddock, or halibut.
I only added 1/2 lb of salmon but you can add up to 1 lb without having to make any modifications to the recipe.

To me, this soup was just right for a main course but not enough for my husband. Since he’s not following any diet at the moment, I stirred in 8 ounces of cooked noodles into his soup to make it more filling.
Will you use salmon or another fish in this recipe?

I make a salmon chowder recipe that I just love, but the addition of curry and coconut milk sounds so good. I’m going to pin this and try it out soon!
Oh dang…this looks amazing! it has 3 of my favorite ingredients: curry, coconut, salmon. Definitely making this when I get home from traveling next week.
I will have to make this as I love all those flavors and have some salmon in my freeze. Plus, it sounds like it is Keto friendly!
I dont usually like coconut anything, but I have tried coconut curry a few times and I find the mix goes very well together.
I have to say that I never knew you could do salmon in the slow cooker. I always saw it as a quick cooking protein so to slow cook it didn’t make sense. But then again so is chicken. I’m excited to try this!
