  • To Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan mix coconut cream, onion, salt, chilli, lemon juice, and the cornstarch (mixed to a paste with a little of the cold coconut cream).
  • Bring the mixture to a boiling point, stirring all the time.
  • Do not allow sauce to boil hard as it will become lumpy.
  • Simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  • Dip pieces of fish in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
  • Brown lightly in hot oil.
  • Place the fish in a casserole dish and pour the sauce over the top.
  • Garnish with slices of tomato.
  • Bake at 300F degrees for 20 minutes.

  1. Stunning so delicious. I used tarakihi fish and coconut milk instead of cream. Cherry tomatos and capers. This will be a regular recipe for me. Yum thanks
     
  2. I was very impressed with this dish. This really looks and tastes restaurant quality. I used nile perch fillets and lite coconut cream. If you like ginger try adding some chopped fresh ginger as well, I did. I browned the fish and made the sauce and put it all together ahead of time and refridgerated it for a few hours until I was ready to cook it. Turned out well so would be great for a dinner party. The sauce tastes really great and the fish comes out very soft and tender. I loved the sliced tomatoes on top too!

I now live in southeast Michigan, but have lived overseas a couple of times (in the South Pacific, and in Asia). My family loves to try new foods and has very few dislikes so I am lucky. We love to travel (lately in Europe and the Caribbean) and I have collected recipes and spices wherever we go.
