With bold, complex flavors, and a creamy, umami broth, a good Thai curry will leave you feeling both light – and satisfied – at the same time.
This nourishing wild salmon curry calls for just nine simple ingredients – including my favorite “cheater” curry starter – and comes together in only a few minutes, courtesy of the Instant Pot electronic pressure cooker.

In addition to the powerful range of disease-fighting antioxidant phytonutrients you’ll enjoy in this quick curry – including geraniol (from the lemongrass), allicin and ajoene (from the garlic), and gingerols (from the ginger) to name just a few… you’ll also get an excellent source of 13 vitamins and minerals.
In fact, just one serving of this fragrant curry provides:
- 48% of the daily value for Vitamin B6
- 59% for Vitamin B12
- 48% for Niacin
- 25% for Riboflavin
- 19% for Thiamin
- 28% for Copper
- 26% for Iron
- 22% for Magnesium
- 44% for Manganese
- 34% for Phosphorus
- 24% for Potassium
- 59% for Selenium
And thanks to wild salmon, you’ll also get 2 grams of the omega-3 essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA. These vital fats – in short supply in most modern diets, are powerful anti-inflammatory agents, found also to boost brain health, support mood, improve insulin sensitivity and promote a lean physique.
But there’s a catch…
In today’s polluted world, it’s important to source our foods carefully. And nowhere is this truer than with seafood.
Unfortunately, most commercial salmon is farm-raised and contains a laundry list of harmful toxins like PCBs, dioxins and more. For your best health, opt to purchase wild seafood from a reputable company, like Vital Choice. Not only do they offer seafood that is sustainably sourced and tested for purity, it is also of the highest quality available..
And now for the simple, step-by-step recipe for this bold, flavorful and satisfying soup.
A quick and delicious Thai curry in minutes. Serve over cauliflower rice.

Studies show that this compound (and I am not talking about "gluten") is toxic to your heart and blood vessels, weakens your immune defenses, and disrupts your nerves and brain function.
And if that's not enough… this hidden compound also makes it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to burn fat and lose weight!
The great news is that you can still have your breads and desserts… AND be well too!

I cheat a bit and put a single sheet of film on the bottom of a buttered waffle iron or machine, add ingredients and put another sheet on top with a bit of butter and put the lid down. As long and there isn’t too much filing, it’s a less fiddly operation. I’ve had cream all over my shoes a couple of times so I know now not to press to hard on the lid.
