Spicy Seafood Stew image

The hardest part of this quick and easy recipe is peeling and dicing the potatoes-and you can even do that the night before. Just place the potatoes in water and store them in the refrigerator overnight to speed up assembly the next day. -Bonnie Marlow, Ottoville, Ohio

COCONUT CURRY FISH



Coconut Curry Fish image

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.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red bell peppers, deseeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 medium green bell peppers, deseeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 medium onion, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder (hot or mild)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
4 (6-ounce) fillets frozen fish, such as whiting or cod
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
1 lime
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, for garnish
White rice or couscous, for serving

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:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like tilapia, cod, or salmon are best for this stew. They can withstand the cooking process without falling apart.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the fish, make sure to do it in batches so that the fish has enough room to brown properly. Overcrowding the pan will result in steamed fish instead of seared fish.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the key to the flavor of this stew. Choose a paste that is flavorful and has a good balance of spices.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat: This stew can be made as mild or as spicy as you like. If you want a milder stew, use less curry paste. If you want a spicier stew, add more curry paste or a chopped chili pepper.
  • Serve with rice or naan: This stew is traditionally served with rice or naan. The rice or naan helps to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

This spicy curried fish stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with rice or naan and enjoy!
