Fish Fillets in Curry Sauce
Fish Fillets in Curry Sauce ~ I'm always looking for new ways to cook fish, and this British/Indian fusion cod with curry sauce is fabulous!
Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds thick fish fillets, Haddock or Cod
- 21/4 cups milk
- 1 tsp salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 5 Tbsp panko bread crumbs
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 1/4 cup fresh curry powder, don't use the ancient tin from the back of your cupboard
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro
- 2-3 tsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Lay out the fillets in a baking pan.
- Combine the milk, salt, pepper, cayenne and turmeric and pour it over the fish. This sits for 15 minutes while you get the rest of the ingredients measured and chopped.
- Take the fish out of the milk, reserving it, and coat it completely with the bread crumbs, pressing them in so they adhere. Put the fish in a shallow baking dish lined with aluminum foil and dot with 2 tbsp of butter. Bake for 15 minutes. (I baked it for almost 15 minutes at 400, then broiled the fish for a few minutes to get a crispy brown crust).
- After you put the fish in the oven, put the milk in a small pan and bring to a simmer. In another heavy bottomed pan, melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter and then add the curry powder. Stir for a minute and then add the flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Then whisk in the hot milk and stir the sauce until it thickens and boils. Take it off the heat and add the cilantro and lemon juice.
- Arrange the fish on a platter or individual plates and spoon the sauce over them. Serve extra sauce on the side.
Notes
I went all the way with the Anglo-Indian theme and served English garden peas on the side.
