Ingredients for 3 Spice Fuss Free Fish Fillet Curry

  • Fish Fillets
  • Onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • Salt
  • Red Chili Powder
  • Turmeric Powder
  • Canola Oil

How to Make 3 Spice Fuss Free Fish Fillet Curry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil (preferably in a cast iron skillet) over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
  4. Gently sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until the oil separates from the sauce and the curry is a bright red color.
  5. Add 1 pound of firm white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or halibut), cut into 1-inch cubes. Sauté gently until the fish is well coated in the sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup of water, stir well, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot with rice or naan bread. Enjoy your fragrant and fuss-free fish curry!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
