Print Recipe

A vibrant and nourishing dish featuring flaky cod fillets topped with a creamy turmeric sauce, paired with a smooth carrot-ginger purée for a beautifully balanced, flavor-forward plate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (about 5 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (for purée)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for purée)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (for purée)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth or water (to blend)

Instructions

  1. Steam or boil carrots until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and add to a blender with ginger, olive oil, broth, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust consistency with more broth if needed. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, turmeric, garlic, ginger, cumin, and salt. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat.
  3. Pat cod fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear cod for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. Plate the carrot purée alongside the cod. Spoon turmeric sauce over the fish, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Use fresh cod for the best texture and flavor.
  • Carrot purée can be made ahead and reheated gently.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne to the turmeric sauce for heat if desired.
