Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pound cod filets
  • 2 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 15 oz coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1½ cups chicken stock
  • 6 oz. baby spinach
  • 3 tablespoon fish sauce
  • cooked rice or rice noodles
  • cilantro, lime wedges, fried shallot, French fried onions, mung bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, Thai basil, mint, jalapeno, or cucumber (all optional, for toppings and garnishes)

Instructions
 

  • Slice cod filets into even pieces, about 4-inch squares.
  • Prepare the spinach by removing any long stems and roughly chopping the leaves.
  • Preheat a Dutch oven or 3.5-quart pot over medium high heat. Add the curry paste, coconut milk, brown sugar, and stock. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer.
  • Add the spinach to the curry sauce and return mixture to a simmer. Place the fish in the pot, tucking it under the surface of the liquid.
  • Cover and simmer for 4-6 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily in the center with a fork.
  • Add in fish sauce and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and sugar as desired.
  • Serve the curry over noodles or rice in a wide bowl. Top with any garnishes and a squeeze of lime.
