COCONUT FISH AND TOMATO BAKE



Coconut Fish and Tomato Bake image

A coconut-milk dressing infused with garlic, ginger, turmeric and lime coats fish fillets in this sheet-pan dinner. Accompanying the fish are bright bursts of tomatoes which turn jammy under the broiler and relinquish some of their juices to the pan sauce. This sauce is silky enough to coat a spoon and packed with flavor. It pairs well with anything from snapper to flounder and even salmon, so choose the fillets that look best at the market. You'll want to sop up the sauce with thick slices of grilled or toasted baguette, or spoon it over steamed rice.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, scrubbed and finely grated
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon honey
Kosher salt
2 limes
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4 (6-ounce) fish fillets, such as snapper, haddock, striped bass, fluke, sablefish or salmon, skin on or off
2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, ginger, garlic, turmeric, red-pepper flakes, honey and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Zest and juice 1 lime directly into the coconut milk mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Add the fish fillets and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position. Arrange another rack in the position closest to the broiler heat source. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the tomatoes on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Place the marinated fish between the tomatoes and spoon all the marinade from the bowl over the fish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil over the fish. Transfer the pan to the lower-middle rack and roast until the surface of the fish is opaque but the center is not cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of the fish. The fish should not flake easily with a fork. Remove the pan from the oven and heat the broiler to high.
  • Move the pan to the broiler and finish cooking, rotating the pan once, until the fish is tender and the tomatoes are just beginning to brown in spots, 5 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness of the fish. Slice the remaining lime into wedges.
  • Divide the tomatoes and fish among dishes and tip the pan juices over the fish. Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

GROUPER FILLETS WITH GINGER AND COCONUT CURRY



Grouper Fillets With Ginger and Coconut Curry image

The chef Patrick Jamon applies French cooking techniques to tropical ingredients grown, caught or gathered near his restaurant, Villa Deevena in Los Pargos, Costa Rica. He is particularly fond of grouper, which is often caught by his son Dean and served at the restaurant, but you could substitute red snapper, cod or mahi-mahi. When reducing the coconut milk, be sure to keep it at a simmer rather than a boil, so it doesn't curdle. Red curry paste can vary in its intensity by brand, so you'll want to adjust the amount to taste.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 grouper fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin removed
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 spring onion (or the white portion of 1 large leek), trimmed, cut into 2-inch segments and julienned (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon dried turmeric
1 small carrot, peeled and julienned
1/2 cup snow peas, julienned
1/2 cup fresh or frozen green peas
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon red curry paste, plus more if needed
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 225 degrees.
  • Season the fish generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the fish and cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the dish.
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet. Add the spring onion and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ginger and turmeric and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add the carrot, snow peas and green peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the coconut milk and 1 tablespoon curry paste to the skillet, bring to a simmer over medium, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is reduced by about one-third, about 6 minutes. Whisk in more curry paste according to taste, if desired. Stir in the cooked vegetables and heat until warmed, about 1 minute.
  • Divide the fish among shallow bowls. Spoon the sauce and vegetables over the fish, garnish with cilantro and serve.
