Pescado Con Coco (Fish in Coconut Sauce - Dominican Republic) image

From the blog "Aunt Clara's Kitchen". Posted to save, as it looks wonderful. This is typical of the Semana Peninsula. The recipe calls for small whole fish, one per serving, although I imagine it would also work well with fillets or steaks.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 (1/2 lb) red snapper (cleaned) or 6 (1/2 lb) grouper (cleaned)
1 teaspoon crushed fresh garlic
1 teaspoon ground annatto seed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil
2 sweet bell peppers, cut into strips (I'd use red, yellow or orange)
1 onion, cut into strips
4 cups coconut milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cut diagonal slices into fish about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  • Combine the annatto, garlic and salt and rub onto the fish, rubbing into the slashes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook fish lightly on one side, then turn and cook the other side. It should color slightly, but won't be done.
  • Lower the heat and add the peppers and onion, and cook until the onions are transparent.
  • Add the coconut milk and simmer until reduced by half. Rotate the fish, being careful to keep it whole.
  • Taste sauce and add additional salt, if desired. Remove from heat, plate with hot rice, and garnish with chopped cilantro.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this dish. The coconut sauce is so flavorful and creamy, it really masked the fishy taste. I would definitely make this again.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some salmon that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The fish was delicious and the coconut sauce was a great complement.

I love this recipe! The fish is so moist and flavorful, and the coconut sauce is to die for. I always make extra sauce so I can have it on hand for other dishes.
