    Sweet Potato Salmon Curry

    Together, the sweet potato, buttery cashews, and edamame provide texture and elevate this curry that seemingly only gets more flavourful after resting for a day. Lemongrass, kefir lime leaves, and Thai basil are ways to make this dish scream Southeast Asian cuisine even more.
