Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
- 4 cups fish stock or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced red bell pepper to the pot and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the coconut milk and fish stock (or vegetable broth). Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and lime zest. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Once simmering, add the fish pieces and cherry tomatoes to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For added heat, include diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
- Substitute shrimp or scallops for the fish for a different seafood flavor, adjusting cooking time as needed to ensure they are cooked through.
