Tips for Experienced Cooks

To elevate the dish, consider using freshly ground spices for more vibrant flavors. You can also sear the fish on the stovetop for a minute on each side before baking it. This not only provides a lovely crust but also locks in the flavors. For an extra touch, garnish your dish with toasted coconut flakes and a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving.

Step 1: Prepare the Fish

In a shallow baking dish, place the cod fillets. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the fish and let marinate for 15 minutes.

  • 1 pound cod fish fillets
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Step 2: Cook the Brown Rice Pilaf

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the brown rice, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 4 cups water

Step 3: Sauté the Spinach

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound spinach

Step 4: Bake the Coconut Curry Fish

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Transfer the marinated fish to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
