1/2 cup white balsamic (substitute apple cider vinegar if needed)

Pinch of kosher salt, plus more as needed

Pinch of granulated sugar

4 tablespoons vegetable or another neutral oil, divided

4 (6-ounce) fillets Coho salmon (such as Secret Island)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 medium (9-ounce) yellow onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced.

3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

1 green bell pepper, finely chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

3 tablespoons Madras curry powder

1 (13 1/2-ounce) can full fat coconut milk, well-shaken

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed

Instructions

Combine Scotch bonnet and vinegar with a pinch of both salt and sugar in a blender. Puree until smooth. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide, medium saucepan over high heat. Season salmon with salt and add to pan, skin side down. Cook 3 minutes, then flip salmon over and add butter. Sear salmon until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until translucent, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, all but 1 tablespoon green onion, and curry powder and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook 2 minutes, stirring to coat vegetables with tomato paste. Add coconut milk and stock to pot. Season with a pinch of salt and lemon juice and stir.

Bring sauce to a boil then lower heat to medium-low and simmer sauce until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Add salmon to sauce and simmer 3 minutes. Spoon salmon and sauce over rice, garnish with remaining green onion, and serve with pepper-vinegar sauce.
