How to make fish curry
The cooking time is super quick (35 minutes) and simple. This is how we do it:
- Marinade. Place the fish fillets on a plate, season and drizzle with lemon juice. With this simple marinade, the fish will transform and become more firm and flaky.
- Cook spices and veggies. Pan-fry the spices with prepared vegetables. The spices will release so much flavor, and your whole kitchen will smell absolutely amazing.
- Pour in the coconut milk, which will make the curry rich, creamy, and full of flavor.
- Add sugar snap peas and trout fillets. The key is not to overcook your sugar snap peas. They need to be beautifully green and still have a bit of a bite. It's also super important not to overcook the fish.
- Serve with chopped coriander or parsley and serve with a side of cooked basmati rice.
