Carrot-Daikon Slaw

Method

Main Dish - Thai Black Cod

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, lime juice, and fish sauce. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Cod

    Place the black cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Cod

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated cod fillets in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Remove the cod from the oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large bowl.

  2. 6

    Season and Roast

    Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

Carrot-Daikon Slaw

  1. 8

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Grate the carrots and daikon radish using a box grater or food processor.

  2. 9

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 10

    Combine and Toss

    In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots and daikon. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
