Thai Curry Pasta With Blistered Tomatoes And Salmon Recipe - Tasting Table

"This recipe pairs oven-roasted salmon and blistered cherry tomatoes and onions with fusilli, and all of it is tossed in a silky coconut milk curry sauce. The result is rich, spicy, and tangy, hitting all the spots for a complete dish."

"Thai basil and cilantro on pasta may sound odd on paper, but once you see how well the tangy, funky coconut-tinged red curry sauce coats each curve of the fusilli noodles, you'll understand why we've become obsessed with this dish. The roasted tomatoes and onions mix with the red, creamy sauce to produce a jammy, sweet-acidic medley that would be at home in any typical Thai curry."

"And the salmon? It brings the whole dish together, adding a fatty protein that stands up to the complex sauce and makes this feel like a complete dish. Whether you prep ahead for lunch or make this on a weeknight, the resulting Thai curry pasta with blistered tomatoes and salmon will fit right at home in any mealtime lineup."

"For the curry sauce, you'll need Thai red curry paste, full-fat coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Make sure you choose a good, flavorful red curry paste, as it can make or break the dish. For serving, we suggest topping with fresh Thai basil, fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes."

Cherry tomatoes and sliced yellow onion are blistered and roasted with garlic in olive oil, then combined with fusilli pasta. Salmon fillets are oven-roasted and added to the pasta for a fatty protein that holds up to the curry flavors. The dish is tossed in a silky sauce made from Thai red curry paste, full-fat coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. The sauce creates a rich, creamy, sweet-acidic balance with spicy tang and tangy funk that clings to the pasta. Fresh Thai basil and cilantro, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes finish the meal.
