Other Instructions
Step 2
Heat avocado oil over medium heat in a large high-rimmed pan. Add the sliced shallots, minced garlic, and grated ginger or frozen cubes. Cook 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring often.
Step 3
Mix in the spice blend. Cook for another 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Cook for 3 more minutes, allowing the tomato paste to darken in color.
Step 4
Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Then pour in the can of coconut milk and fish sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Add the cod filets in an even layer. They should be almost entirely submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until cod is cooked through. Before serving, taste the sauce and season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 6
Divide the cod among shallow bowls. Spoon over additional sauce. Squeeze with lime juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley and cilantro as desired.
