Soy sauce is a healthier alternative for flavoring.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the salmon fillets.

Season the salmon with salt and black pepper.

Bake the salmon in the oven for around 10 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F to 140°F.

In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, add about 2 teaspoons of avocado oil and let it shimmer.

Add chopped shallots with a pinch of salt and fry for about 1 minute.

Stir in minced garlic, minced ginger, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of green curry paste; fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add sliced red bell pepper, brown sugar, and fish sauce; fry for about 3 minutes until the peppers start to soften slightly.

Pour in one can of coconut milk and season with more salt and black pepper.

Let the sauce reduce slowly for about 10 to 20 minutes until it thickens.

After about 15 minutes, add fresh lime juice (from half a lime), fresh coriander, and chopped green onion; stir to combine.

Taste the sauce for seasoning and adjust with more salt if needed.

Serve the salmon on jasmine rice, topped with the green curry sauce, and garnish with green onion, fresh coriander, and an extra lime wedge.
