Just plain creamy and luscious, this aromatically spiced Salmon Curry is slow-cooker comfort food for me - I hope you find it to be your comfort food too. This is dairy free as I used coconut milk and there's no pre-prep involved - I just dumped all the ingredients into my AllClad slow cooker and went and ran some errands and came home to dinner!

As a child, I grew up eating curry - vegetable curry, egg curry, chicken curry - you name it - I've probably had it in curry form - thanks to growing up in Sri Lanka. My favorite of all curries has always been fish curry - it didn't matter what the fish was. So, when I need something comforting these days, I tend to turn to fish curry. Warm, creamy, soul and tastebud satisfying fish curry. And that's what this salmon curry is - luscious, creamy, so incredibly aromatic and tasty - and it came together by throwing a bunch of ingredients into a slow cooker.
Lately life has been so hectic, but my slow cooker keeps me from picking up take out as in this case, I got home from work, dumped all the ingredients for this curry into my slow cooker - went and ran a bunch of errands and came home and dinner was waiting for me. No pre-cooking, just dump and 3 hours later - EAT! My daughter and I enjoyed this salmon with some cardamom and clove spiced saffron rice. I sure do hope you give this a try and maybe, just maybe it will be your comfort food too?
