Description

A delightful coconut fish curry featuring succulent fish fillets enveloped in creamy coconut milk and aromatic spices, perfect for creating cherished family moments.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger; sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
  3. Next, add the sliced bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it softens slightly.
  4. Stir in the curry powder and let it cook for another minute.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring thoroughly to combine, and allow it to come to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Gently place the fish fillets into the simmering curry and drizzle with lime juice.
  7. Let it simmer for 6-8 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

Use fresh fish fillets for the best flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste and consider adding cayenne for heat.
