Clare wanted something spicy for supper! I was in Whole Foods picked up some lemongrass, Kaffir Lime leaves and Galangal, not really knowing what to do with them. Got home and browsed Epicurious. Came up with a recipe for Roast Salmon with Thai Red Curry.
First we made the red curry paste:

it was good, but a little time consuming and I think in the future I would just use store bought.
The roast Salmon recipe is at:

this was delicious. Very very simple. Would work great for a crowd of people.
