Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
  • 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable stock
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 pound fresh cod fillets
  • ½ cup freshly chopped cilantro plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics:

  • Warm the olive oil in a spacious skillet set over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
  • Incorporate the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes aromatic.

Add the Curry Powder:

  • Stir in the curry powder, cooking for about 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.

Add the Tomatoes and Simmer:

  • Add the cherry or grape tomatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them in the spices.
  • Add the vegetable broth and allow the mixture to reach a gentle simmer.
  • Let the tomatoes cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to burst and soften, creating a sauce.

Add the Coconut Milk:

  • Once the tomatoes have softened, stir in the full-fat coconut milk.
  • Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Cook the Cod:

  • Season the cod fillets with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper on both sides.
  • Nestle the cod fillets into the curry sauce, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
  • Cover the skillet and let the cod poach in the sauce for about 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Add Cilantro and Lime:

  • Once the cod is cooked, stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Serve:

  • Garnish the curried cod with extra chopped cilantro and a wedge of lime.
  • Serve the dish hot, with basmati rice, naan, or your favorite side.
