FISH IN CREAMY COCONUT SAUCE
This is an AUTHENTIC Malay/Indonesian recipe and tastes absolutely beautiful with rice. Trust me! :) I got this recipe from hawkers in Malaysia--so it's a tad spicy. Chicken breasts may be used in place of fish. Note: This serves 4 with rice and a side of stir-fried vegetables.

COCONUT CURRY FISH
Jamaican curry powder plays a major role in this deeply savory weeknight dish, giving the sauce its unique flavor and golden hue. The traditional spice blend is heavy on the turmeric, and benefits from being toasted, which brings out its notes. This recipe calls for frozen whiting, which doesn't hold up to frying but shines here, simmered in a sauce studded with red and green bell peppers. If whiting is unavailable, cod is also a good choice.

Steps:
- Heat a medium (10-inch) saucepan with deep sides over medium-high. Drizzle in olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add red and green bell peppers and onion, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the curry powder to the pan, and toast for about 1 minute, stirring often to keep the curry from scorching. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the grated ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Place fish on top of cooked vegetables, or nestle them into the vegetables, if your pan is becoming too full. Pour coconut milk over fish and vegetables.
- Cover and simmer over medium-low until fish is cooked and starts to flake, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Squeeze lime to taste over the top and garnish with scallions and cilantro. Serve with white rice or couscous.

Tips:
- Use fresh fish: Fresh fish will yield the best results. If you're using frozen fish, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Choose a firm fish: A firm fish will hold up better in the sauce. Good choices include halibut, cod, tilapia, and salmon.
- Season the fish well: Season the fish with salt, pepper, and other spices before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked fish will be tough and dry.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the fish and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
- Serve the dish over rice or noodles: Fish in creamy coconut sauce is traditionally served over rice or noodles. This helps to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Fish in creamy coconut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy coconut sauce is rich and flavorful, and the fish is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
