Coconut-Curried Catfish

Serves 4
Time 25 min
Rice would be the traditional accompaniment to this Thai-inspired fish curry, but red quinoa is also a tasty and colorful partner, and will cook in about the same amount of time as the curry. Wild blue catfish is thicker and more flavorful than most catfish varieties — it resembles striped bass — but you could use any thicker catfish or white fish fillet.

Method

Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.

Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 6 minutes.

Stir in curry paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in coconut milk, sugar and salt, stirring until curry is dissolved, and bring to a simmer.

Add fish, cover the pan and simmer for 3 minutes.

Carefully stir in spinach and fish sauce.

Simmer until spinach is just wilted and fish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro and serve.
