Cod in Coconut Curry Sauce

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4-6 oz. cod filet pieces
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded, and minced
  • 2 Tbsp. Madras Hot Curry Powder
  • 1 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 – 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes and their juice
  • 1 can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes until they are soft, but not brown.
  • Add the ginger, garlic, jalapeño, curry powder, coriander, cumin and salt and pepper and continue to cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Add the tomatoes and their juices, the coconut milk and the sugar. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil and cook for another 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.
  • Place the fish filets into the sauce. Reduce heat to medium low and cover the pan.
  • Cook the fish until it is cooked through, but not falling apart (4-8 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish).
  • Just before serving, stir the chopped cilantro into the sauce.
  • To serve, place a scoop of basmati rice on each plate. Top with a piece of fish and a generous ladle of sauce. Garnish with toasted coconut, lime wedges and almonds if desired.
