Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 1 medium shallot
  • 1 small cucumber
  • fine salt and freshly ground white pepper
  • 2 sprigs cilantro
  • ½ teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
  • 300 g cod (or tilapia) fillets
  • 500 ml court-bouillon
  • 150 ml coconut milk

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Bring the court-bouillon to a simmer in a frying pan large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Poach the fish, covered, for a few minutes until barely cooked. Drain well. Set aside and keep warm.
  • 2
    In the meantime, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Sweat the shallots for a couple of minutes to soften them. Add 100 milliliters of the court-bouillon, increase the heat to high, and reduce the liquid substantially. Add the coconut milk and cucumbers. Season with a little salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • 3
    If the sauce seems too thin, bring it to a boil and thicken with the cornstarch mixture.
  • 4
    Divide the fish between heated serving plates. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the toasted coconut. Decorate each plate with a couple cilantro leaves.
  • Ready !
