COCONUT-POACHED FISH WITH BOK CHOY



Coconut-Poached Fish With Bok Choy image

This one pot, Thai-influenced dish couldn't be easier to assemble, and its beautiful presentation makes it look like you spent a lot longer on dinner than you actually did. The poaching liquid does double duty by gently cooking the fish and wilting the bok choy. If bok choy is unavailable, another sturdy green, like kale or Napa cabbage, can be substituted. Serve with steamed jasmine rice to soak up some of the fragrant coconut milk broth.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 (6-ounce) cod fillets or other flaky white fish
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
1 fresh Thai or Serrano chile, thinly sliced
2 (13 1/2-ounce) cans coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
About 7 ounces baby bok choy, ends trimmed and stalks separated
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro, both leaves and tender stems
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion greens
Lime wedges (from 1 lime), for serving
Flaky salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Season fish well with salt. In a large sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, ginger and chile, and cook, stirring often until they become translucent, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Add coconut milk, fish sauce and brown sugar, and whisk together until combined and sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer. Add cod fillets and turn the heat down to low. Cover and cook until cod is just cooked through and opaque, about 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully remove the fish and plate in bowls.
  • Add bok choy to the coconut milk broth and turn heat to medium-low. Cook bok choy until leaves are wilted and stems are tender, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Divide bok choy evenly alongside the fish and ladle the coconut milk broth over each portion. Top with cilantro, scallions and a good squeeze of lime, and serve with remaining wedges on the side. Garnish with flaky salt, if desired.

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:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like salmon, halibut, or cod work best for this recipe. Avoid delicate fish like tilapia or sole, as they can easily fall apart during cooking.
  • Make sure the fish is fresh: The fresher the fish, the better the dish will taste. Look for fish that is bright-eyed, firm to the touch, and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Use high-quality coconut milk: Not all coconut milks are created equal. Look for a brand that is unsweetened and has a rich, creamy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the fish, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can cook evenly. Otherwise, the fish will steam instead of fry and will be less flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it while it's cooking. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Coconutty fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of coconut milk, curry powder, and ginger creates a flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with the delicate flavor of the fish. Serve coconutty fish with rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
