Cooking Steps
Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces. Pat both sides dry with paper towel and season with salt & pepper.
Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
Cook the salmon, skin-side down, for 5 minutes. Flip it and cook for another 2-3 minutes (the fish should be almost done).
Take the salmon out of the pan and transfer it to a plate. If you don't want to eat the salmon skin, you can easily slide it off before adding the salmon back into the pan.
Spoon some of the oil out of the skillet so you have about a tablespoon of it left in there.
Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes (should be getting lightly browned), then stir in the garlic and curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
Add in the fish sauce, coconut milk, sugar, carrots, and broccolini. Let it gently bubble for about 5 minutes or so.
Stir in the lime juice, then add the fish back to the pan. Let it warm through for a couple of minutes. Season with more salt & pepper as needed. Sprinkle with the basil and cilantro and serve immediately.
