Tips for Experienced Cooks

Ensure your skillets and pots have even heat distribution to prevent uneven cooking. Experiment by adding a splash of lime or lemon juice to the curry sauce to enhance its flavors. Be vigilant about the thickness of your fillets as this may affect the baking time - adjust accordingly. Try toasting the cumin seeds before using them in the spiced spinach for an added layer of nuttiness and aroma.

Step 1: Preheat oven and season cod

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the cod fish fillets with salt and pepper.

  • Cod fish fillets
  • Salt and pepper

Step 2: Sear the cod

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the cod fillets for 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the fillets to a baking dish.

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Cod fish fillets

Step 3: Bake the cod

Bake the cod fillets in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

Step 4: Prepare the curry sauce

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and curry powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the coconut milk, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

In a separate pot, boil the diced potatoes until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and season with cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.

  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Step 6: Prepare the spiced spinach

In another skillet, melt the ghee or butter over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Stir in the red chili flakes, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Add the spinach leaves and sauté until wilted.

  • 1 tablespoon ghee or butter
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
