Salmon with Thai Curry Spinach

I had salmon on the menu schedule for this week and found this delicious, easy recipe online:

It took about 15 minutes to make, start to finish. I should have started the rice earlier, because although I started it before I even got out the other ingredients, it wasn't finished cooking by the time the salmon and spinach were done.

We all really liked it, and salmon and spinach are both so good for you, that this is a keeper.

(This is for one serving)

Ingredients:
1 serving salmon (de-boned)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon red Thai curry paste
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon palm sugar (grated or sugar)
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 (6 ounce) package fresh baby spinach

Directions:
1. Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the butter in a pan.
3. Sear the salmon on both sides, about 5 minutes on the skin side followed by 2 minute on the other side.
4. Heat the coconut milk in a pan.
5. Mix in the curry paste, fish sauce, palm sugar and lime juice.
6. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
7. Place the curried spinach on a plate and top with the salmon.
