This coconut curry salmon with broccoli uses Thai red chili paste for beautiful color and depth of flavor. You can make it spicier by using hot curry powder on the filets, and extra red pepper flakes in the sauce. We like this served in a bowl with rice. Use riced cauliflower for an extra serving of veggies, if you prefer.

Coconut Pecan Pie
This is a nice change from pecan pie. It is my husband's favorite. Very sweet and rich. If you use a deep dish pie crust, use 1 cup pecans. For a smaller pie crust use 1/2 cup.
