Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and sliced red chili, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Curry

    Add the asam paste to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Add the Cod

    Carefully place the seasoned cod fillets into the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the fish. Cover and let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with salt and more black pepper, if needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Asam Curry Cod Fish over a bed of cooked jasmine rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.
