Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 1 knob of fresh ginger
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tbsp madras curry paste
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

- Add the onion, ginger, 2 tbsp madras curry paste, 1 tsp ground coriander, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and the garlic to a food processor. Blend until it looks smooth.
- Pour in half of the 12⁄3 cups of coconut milk and blend again, so the mixture loosens up.

- Chop 2 sticks of lemongrass into roughly 2-inch pieces and toss them in.
- Stir everything and let it simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors settle.
- Add the boneless salmon steaks directly to the sauce and cook for about 5 minutes.
