Coconut-Curry Monkfish Soup image

A soothing coconut curry really satisfies on a cold night and this one comes together quickly. If you can't find monkfish, make this dish with any firm, meaty fish, such as halibut, haddock, rockfish, or sablefish.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced (1 cup)
1 red bell pepper, stems, ribs, and seeds removed, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro stems, plus 1/2 cup leaves for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons green curry paste, such as Maesri
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 can (13.5 ounces) light coconut milk
8 ounces clam juice
1 1/4 pounds monkfish fillet, skin and dark membrane removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
Cooked rice, for serving (optional)
1 serrano, red-finger, or Thai chile (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), thinly sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium. When oil shimmers, add onion, bell pepper, ginger, and cilantro stems; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and golden in places, 12 to 15 minutes. Add curry; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add vinegar; boil until mostly evaporated. Add coconut milk and clam juice; bring to a simmer.
  • Generously season fish with salt and pepper; stir into skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook at a bare simmer, stirring gently a few times, until just cooked through but not falling apart, about 4 minutes. Ladle into bowls with rice, top with cilantro leaves and chile, and serve.
