Salmon Coconut Curry Recipe!!

I usually grill salmon. Until today, I had not thought of making it differently. The fact that I was tired of eating grilled version, I had to make something else. After moving to AZ, life has been really hectic: traffic, study, work and weather @-) These days I try to fix foods that are easy and quick and barely get any time to get creative in the kitchen :( But today my schedule was little flexible and whenever that happens, I end up creating yummy dishes and today it was delicious Salmon Coconut Curry.
