Method

LUNCH

  1. 1

    Prep the fish

    Rinse the sea bream halves under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the fish

    Season the fish halves with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper; drizzle 1 tbsp lime juice over them and set aside to marinate briefly.

  3. 3

    Sear the fish

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the sea bream halves skin-side down 2-3 minutes until the skin is crisp. Turn and sear 1 minute more. Remove and keep warm.

  4. 4

    Sauté aromatics

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger; sauté 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add spice & coconut

    Stir in Swarnadwipa spice blend and cook for 1 minute. Pour in coconut milk and coconut cream; bring to a gentle simmer.

  6. 6

    Create the sauce

    Add desiccated coconut and sliced red chili; simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.

  7. 7

    Finish cooking the fish

    Return the sea bream halves to the pan; spoon sauce over the fish and simmer 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.

  8. 8

    Brighten & serve

    Stir in the remaining lime juice if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
