Grouper Filet with Ginger & Coconut Curry
Ingredients
Instructions
- 4 grouper fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin removed
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 4 tsp. olive oil
- 1 spring onion, trimmed, cut into 2-inch segments and julienned (about 1 cup)
- 1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp. minced fresh turmeric or 1 tsp. dried turmeric
- 1 small carrot, peeled and julienned
- ½ cup snow peas, julienned
- ½ cup fresh or frozen green peas
- 1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp. red curry paste, plus more if needed
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Heat oven to 225 degrees.
- Season the fish generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tsps. 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 tsps. 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.
