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