30 ml oil
15 ml mustard seeds
1/2 kg fresh salmon, boneless and skinned, cut into chunks (but save the skin!)
1 large onion, cut into strips
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 medium butternut squash, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 (398 ml) can coconut milk
1 liter chicken stock
1 piece lemongrass, bruised with back of knife (whacked and bruised but not hacked to pieces)
15 ml fish sauce
30 ml curry paste (if you like more have fun!)
5 ml salt, to taste

In a heavy pot heat up oil and put in mustard seeds and cover the pot until they pop like popcorn (that makes them taste nutty).

3
Toss in the Squash.
4
Add in the can of coconut milk, the chicken stock, the fish sauce, the lemongrass and the curry paste.

Bring to a boil turn down heat and simmer/cook until the squash JUST starts to fall apart (about 15-20 minutes).
6
Remove the lemongrass.
7
Stir the pot and taste then add salt if needed, bring heat back up to a simmer.
8
Place the salmon in the pot, but not in one big heap, but so the pieces are all laying on top evenly.
9
Cover the pot and turn off the heat.
10
Let stand for at least 5 minutes and check to see if the salmon is done (it doesn't have to have been cooked to death; salmon is moist and lovely at about 'medium').
11
Serve over Rice (basmati is nice).
12
You can cook the salmon skin in a hot skillet and munch on it later-- mmmmm.
