COCONUT CURRY FISH



Coconut Curry Fish image

Jamaican curry powder plays a major role in this deeply savory weeknight dish, giving the sauce its unique flavor and golden hue. The traditional spice blend is heavy on the turmeric, and benefits from being toasted, which brings out its notes. This recipe calls for frozen whiting, which doesn't hold up to frying but shines here, simmered in a sauce studded with red and green bell peppers. If whiting is unavailable, cod is also a good choice.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red bell peppers, deseeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 medium green bell peppers, deseeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 medium onion, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder (hot or mild)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
4 (6-ounce) fillets frozen fish, such as whiting or cod
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
1 lime
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, for garnish
White rice or couscous, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a medium (10-inch) saucepan with deep sides over medium-high. Drizzle in olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add red and green bell peppers and onion, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the curry powder to the pan, and toast for about 1 minute, stirring often to keep the curry from scorching. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the grated ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Place fish on top of cooked vegetables, or nestle them into the vegetables, if your pan is becoming too full. Pour coconut milk over fish and vegetables.
  • Cover and simmer over medium-low until fish is cooked and starts to flake, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Squeeze lime to taste over the top and garnish with scallions and cilantro. Serve with white rice or couscous.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the Right Fish: For this recipe, firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, halibut, or cod work best. Avoid delicate fish like tilapia or sole, as they may fall apart during cooking.
  • Don't Overcook the Fish: Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked fish will become tough and dry.
  • Use Fresh Coconut Milk: Fresh coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to the curry. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to choose a brand that is unsweetened.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: The amount of curry paste you use will determine the spiciness of the dish. If you don't like spicy food, you can start with a small amount of curry paste and add more to taste.
  • Serve with Rice or Naan: Coconut curry fish is traditionally served with rice or naan. Rice is a good choice for absorbing the flavorful sauce, while naan can be used to scoop up the fish and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Easy Coconut Curry Fish is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The creamy coconut sauce is balanced by the spicy curry paste, and the fish is cooked to perfection. Serve with rice or naan for a complete meal.
