If you’ve never curried your cod, you’re not living your best life! The combination of stewed tomatoes and smooth, creamy coconut milk combined with tender, flaky cod will ignite your taste buds!
How do I make Coconut Curried Cod?
First you’ll saute onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil. Then add grape tomatoes and curry powder.
Add veggie stock and coconut milk.
Stir to combine, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Nestle cod fillet into the curried tomatoes and cover with sauce.
Cover pot and poach fish in the curry cooking liquid for 7-10 minutes or until it flakes easily.
Finish the dish with a squeeze of lime juice and fresh chopped cilantro and dinner is served!
What should I serve with Curried Cod?
This dish has so much flavor that you can really keep the accompaniments very simple. I like to serve this curried fish dish with naan and white or brown rice.
And of course I like to garnish with plenty of fresh chopped cilantro and serve it with a few lime wedges so folks can add acidity to their taste.
Tips for making the best Curried Cod:
- Cod is great in this recipe but any mild white fish will work! Grouper, mahi mahi, pollack, or even tilapia would all work in place of cod.
- Season. Season. Season. And then season some more! This dish is SO simple! And with just 10 ingredients, it’s really important to adequately season with salt and pepper to bring out the flavors of the simple ingredient list.
- Trust your gut on the cook time for the fish. The easiest way to tell if fish is cooked through is to test it with a fork. Gently poke the thickest part of the fish with a fork and twist the fork a bit. If the fish flakes easily, it is done! If the fish does not flake easily, give it a little more simmer time.

So good! I used a large can of diced tomatoes in lieu of fresh tomatoes. I also had yellow onion on hand so used that instead of red onion. Served over rice- delish! Everyone in my family loved it. Great recipe.

Yum – that does sound great! I may have to try it with canned tomatoes this winter too! Great tip!
Ditch the fried fish for this healthier curried cod! Loaded with bold flavor and tender flakey cod, your family will love this dish!

This sounds SO good! I love the idea of the tomato in this dish. Will be trying soon for sure.
It’s a bit unconventional, but so delicious!
