Tomato Coconut Curried Cod Recipes

CARIBBEAN STYLE CURRY COD

Steps:

• Place the fish chunks in a medium sized bowl and sprinkle all of the listed ingredients to marinate the fish. Set aside to refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
• On medium heat, melt the coconut oil then add the fish chunks and proceed to seal each side. The fish will be opaque when sealed, be careful not to keep turning the fish. We are only sealing, not cooking it.
• Once sealed, remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add some more coconut oil if required, melt, then saute the onion, scallion, garlic and ginger until soft and translucent.
• Add the bell peppers and cook until soft for 5 minutes
• Once the bell peppers are cooked add the herbs and spices - black pepper, thyme, parsley, fish seasoning.
• Stir in the tamarind paste and tomato
• Finally pour in the coconut milk, water, scotch bonnet and pink salt to taste.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and simmer on medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
• Around the 20 minute mark, add the fish chunks pushing down so the sauce covers it, cover the pan again and allow to thoroughly cook for the remaining 10 minutes.
• Serving accordingly.

TOMATO-COCONUT CURRY WITH COD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Pour oil into a large wide saucepan and add shallot. Set over medium-high and cook, shaking pan often, until shallot is golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallot to paper towels to drain; season with 1/2 tsp. salt.
• Return pan with oil to medium-high heat and add ginger and curry paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until paste begins to stick to pan, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and cream and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to burst and curry just starts to stick to pan, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Season fish fillets all over with 1 tsp. salt and arrange over tomato mixture. Transfer pan to oven and bake until flesh is opaque all the way through, firm to the touch, and easily flakes when thickest part is pierced with a paring knife, 18-22 minutes.
• Transfer fish and curry to a platter. Toss basil with lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Scatter over curry. Top with crispy shallots.
