The Strategy
Tender white fish like cod acts like a sponge, eagerly soaking up the warm spices of a rich curry broth. Simmering the fillets gently in a covered pan keeps them moist and lets the aromatic steam cook them to flaky perfection. It's a comforting, shallow bowl of goodness that warms you from the inside out.
Technique Summary
Simmering cod fillets in a fragrant tomato-curry broth infuses the mild fish with deep, warm flavors. Covering the skillet traps steam to cook the fish gently and keep it tender.
Chef’s Checkpoints
- The fish should turn from translucent to completely opaque throughout.
- Watch for the cod to begin flaking gently at the edges when nudged with a spatula.
