If you like curry you are going to love this new and delicious twist on your favorite curry dish! Instead of chicken or beef this recipe uses mahi mahi which is a great fish to use because of it's firm texture and mild flavor. Feel free to use any firm white fish you can get your hands on that is a good price. Pollock, cod and tilapia would all work great here. If you have never tried curry this would be a great recipe to try because it is very mild in flavor! Give it a try. You may surprise yourself!
Curried Mahi Mahi with Basmati Rice (adapted from eatingwell.com)
1 c. basmati rice, prepared according to package directions
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced (if you like things spicier feel free to use a serrano or even a habanero pepper)
2 T. curry powder
1/4 t. dried thyme
1 (14 oz.) can light coconut milk
1 3/4 lb. mahi mahi filets (or any other firm white fish), cut in 1" pieces
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 t. salt
Chopped cilantro for garnish (if desired)
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add the curry powder and thyme and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the fish and green onions. Cover and cook until the fish is just cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in salt and serve immediately over basmati rice with a sprinkle of cilantro, if desired.
