Directions
- Generously season the fillets with salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter and oil. When sizzling, add onions and carrots; season lightly with salt. Sauté for 5 minutes.
- Add bell peppers and jalapeño pepper; sauté for 3 minutes or until carrots are tender.
- Add ginger and garlic; sauté for only 1 minute.
- Pour in chicken broth and add baby potatoes, flipping them flesh side down. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce to medium-high and cook for 6 minutes.
- Add coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, and coconut sugar. Blend the ingredients before placing the fish; baste with the sauce.
- When the mixture barely starts simmering, reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook for 6 minutes.
- Halfway through cooking, flip the fillets and add cherry tomatoes. Cover and continue cooking for the remaining 3 minutes.
- Mix in lime zest and check if potatoes are tender. If so, add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the mixture thickens, about 45 seconds.
