Curried Fish With Bananas Recipes

CURRIED FISH WITH BANANAS

Steps:

• Cut the fish fillets in half crosswise and slice the bananas into pieces that closely match size of the fish (see photo).
• Thoroughly combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of the curry powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and spread the mixture on a plate or sheet of wax paper.
• Lightly press the fish fillets into the flour mixture, shake off the excess and set aside in a single layer.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
• Once the butter melts, add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder, swirl the pan to coat and add the bananas, cut side down.
• Sauté the bananas until lightly caramelized, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes per side (don't overcook). Season with a pinch of salt and transfer to a serving platter.
• Return the pan to the stove, increase the heat slightly and add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, swirl the pan to coat.
• As soon as the butter starts to sizzle, add the fish fillets and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on the first side.
• Carefully turn the fillets over and continue cooking until the fish flakes easily, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes longer. Arrange the fish fillets on top of the plated bananas.
• Working quickly, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once the butter melts, add the grapefruit juice and heat until bubbly, about 1 minute.
• Spoon the pan sauce over the fish, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

CURRIED BANANAS

Steps:

• In heavy skillet, such as cast iron, melt butter over medium to medium high heat.
• Add bananas cut or broken into 2" pieces.
• Cook 2 to 4 minutes.
• Carefully turn.
• Sprinkle with brown sugar and curry powder.
• Cook 2 to 4 minutes.
• The bananas should be soft and warmed through, and there should be a sauce in the bottom.
• **Don't overcrowd the pan; you need to be able to turn the banana pieces without mashing them.**.
