Method

Cook rice according to the packet instructions.
Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for a few seconds. Gradually stir in a coconut cream and bring to a simmer. Add salmon fillets, cover and simmer for 7-8 minutes, turning the fish over halfway.
Meanwhile, blanch green beans in a pan of simmering water until just tender. Drain and divide between 2 hot serving plates.

Stir some fresh coriander leaves into the sauce. Top the beans with the salmon, spooning over the sauce. Garnish with coriander and serve with the cooked rice.
