Wendell's Salmon and Kabocha


Wendell made this about a month ago after seeing the recipe in HMSA's recent Island Scene magazine.  It was super tasty.

"Alan Titchenal created this recipe with his wife, Joannie Dobbs, who’s also a certified nutrition specialist. Titchenal is a professor of nutrition at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa and has been Island Scene’s nutrition adviser for 20 years."

1 lb. kabocha, peeled (optional) and cubed (1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inch)

1⁄2 cup water

12 oz. salmon, skinned, deboned, and cut into bite-sized pieces

Thai basil leaves for garnish

Sauce

1⁄4 cup water

2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium shoyu, or to taste

2 Tbsp. yellow Thai curry paste

3 Tbsp. creamy or chunky peanut butter


In a small bowl, whisk sauce ingredients together until well blended. Set aside.

Place kabocha and water in a large skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until almost done, about 5 minutes. Layer salmon pieces on kabocha, cover, and simmer until salmon is cooked, about 3 minutes. Add sauce and stir gently to combine. Garnish with Thai basil. Makes 6 servings

Interesting recipe. Usually with Thai curry you cook the curry paste first. I know Alan and Joannie quite well. They used to be strict vegetarians but now eat fish, sometimes chicken. They would always bring Thai food (takeout) to our gatherings. Not sure if I want to try this one...
