Ingredients

  • 1 pound monkfish or cod fillets
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder, optional
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh Thai chili pepper, seeds included
  • 2 teaspoons Southeast Asian fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 12 baby bibb lettuce leaves
  • 1 tablespoon shredded fresh kaffir lime leaves, if desired.

Directions

1

Cut fish into 1/2-inch chunks. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.

2

In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, turmeric, paprika, curry powder, ginger, garlic, chili pepper and fish sauce. Mix well. Add fish pieces, and toss until well coated. Let marinate 15 minutes.

3

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Heat oil, and add onions. Saute onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Add fish mixture, and saute until fish is opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool to room temperature.

5

Spoon into lettuce cups, and place three cups on each of 4 plates. Garnish with kaffir lime leaves, and serve.
