Curried Fish
Makes: 6 servings, about 1 cup each
Active time: 35 minutes / Total: 35 minutes
Though curried goat, chicken and shrimp are more popular than fish, Jacqui’s version with mild mahi-mahi is a delicious and light alternative. Serve over rice.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons Canola oil
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced Scotch bonnet chili pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
1 14-ounce can “lite” coconut milk
2 pounds mahi-mahi fillets, skinned, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
Method:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add curry powder and cook for 1 minute. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, chili pepper and thyme. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in fish and scallions; cover and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in salt and serve immediately.
Note: Mahi-mahi (also called Dorado) from the US Atlantic is sustainably fished and considered the best choice for the environment.
