Ingredients:
1/2 Costco sized Fresh Salmon Fillet (can feed 4 people)

3 cups of chopped veggies (your choice.  I like to use Kale, Bell Peppers, Onions, mushrooms, or mixed greens.  Whatever you wish, but make it colorful)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt
fresh basil leaves
non-stick spray

Supplies needed:
1 oven
1 cookie sheet
1 small sauce pan
1 large skillet
1 spatula
1 spoon
1 set of tongs (longer the better)
timer
aluminum foil

Pre Heat oven to 400 degrees F
Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil

set timer for 15 minutes.
pour olive oil in skillet

salt veggies, turn some more
turn heat down to low
pour the coconut curry sauce in small saucepan (or put coconut milk and curry paste into the pan)
heat on low, stirring occaisionally, until simmering.  do not let it come to a boil.  stir just enough that milk doesn't burn in the pan.

turn off all stove top burners, the coconut curry sauce should be done, and the veggies should be warm.
