What you'll need

Preparation

1 Green Curry Sauce: In medium saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients; bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and keep warm.
2 For the salmon, preheat grill to medium-high heat. Make a tray out of a doubled-length of heavy-duty foil large enough for the salmon, by folding a long piece in half, dull side of foil facing up, and folding all four sides to form rim. Place foil tray on baking sheet (to easily transport to grill); brush top of “tray” with olive oil to coat.
3 In small bowl, mix ginger, basil, salt, coriander, cumin, paprika, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Place salmon on foil tray, skin-side down (whether or not fillets are skin-on or off). Sprinkle 2 tsp (10 mL) of the lime juice over salmon; rub ginger spice mix into salmon.
4 Carefully slide foil tray from baking sheet onto hot grill; close lid and cook until salmon flakes easily when tested, 10 to 15 minutes (it’s not necessary to turn salmon).
5 To serve, squeeze remaining 4 tsp (20 mL) lime juice over salmon; spoon some of the Green Curry Sauce on top. Sprinkle with fresh basil, if using.
6 Test Kitchen Tips:
• This makes a larger amount of Green Curry Sauce than needed for recipe. Remaining sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
• Choose skin-on or skinless salmon fillets that are about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick, if possible.
• If preferred, salmon can be baked on a foil or parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven instead.
