Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

12 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 white onions, sliced thinly
12 cups fish stock
1 fresh green chile, mild-to-moderately hot, including seeds
6 (6-ounce) wild striped bass fillets, skin on and 1 1/2 to 2- inches thick
Sea salt
2 (12-ounce) cans coconut milk (recommended: Chaokoh brand)
Cauliflower Puree, recipe follows
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 teaspoon chopped ginger
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 dried red chile, including seeds
1/4 cup vegetable stock, more if needed

Steps:

  • Put the garlic and coconut in a blender and blend to make a paste, adding a little water if necessary. Transfer the paste to a small bowl and stir in the cumin, turmeric, and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they're softened but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic-coconut paste and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the fish stock and chile and simmer the sauce for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Season the bass fillets with sea salt and let stand for 5 minutes. Bring the fish stock sauce up to a boil and add the coconut milk. Bring up to a boil once again. Add the bass to the sauce and bake in the middle of the oven until the fish is just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • To serve, plate the fish on some sauce and spoon the cauliflower puree around it.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they're fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shallots, ginger, and garlic and cook until softened but not browned. Add the tomatoes and saute until soft. Add the cauliflower, turmeric, and chile, and saute until just slightly golden. Add just enough vegetable stock to cover by 1/4-inch. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor or blender and puree.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my fish turned out a little dry. The cauliflower puree and caldin curry were both delicious, but the fish was a bit disappointing.

This recipe is a bit pricey, but it's worth it for a special occasion. The striped bass is a high-quality fish, and the cauliflower puree and caldin curry are both made with fresh, flavorful ingredients.

I'm allergic to cauliflower, so I made the puree with mashed potatoes instead. It was just as delicious, and the caldin curry was still amazing. This is definitely a dish that I can enjoy!

I had some trouble finding striped bass at my local grocery store, so I used tilapia instead. It turned out great! The tilapia was flaky and delicious, and the flavors of the puree and curry were just as good as I had hoped.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful marinade for the fish. The cauliflower puree and caldin curry were both good, but they couldn't make up for the lack of flavor in the fish.
