Coconut Curry Salmon with Broccoli
  1. 1

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush it with 1 tablespoon cooking oil. Preheat the oven broiler.

  2. 2

    Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared pan, skin side down. Brush the filets with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.

  3. 3

    Season the filets with curry powder, then lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle honey over the filets and place them under the broiler. Broil until just crisp on top, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch closely, as the honey can burn easily. Remove from the oven and keep warm.

  4. 4

    For the coconut curry sauce, melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for about 1 minute, then add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more.

  5. 5

    Stir in the red pepper flakes and Thai red curry paste and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and fish sauce; bring to a simmer. Add the broccoli florets and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the salmon filets to the skillet and simmer until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Squeeze 1/2 lime over the skillet. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions and serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
