Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 grouper fillets, skin removed, about 6 ounces each
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk, full-fat for richness
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 fresh red chili, thinly sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar, packed
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish, roughly chopped
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon fish sauce for extra umami

    • Instructions

  • Dice the onion finely, mince the garlic, grate the fresh ginger, and slice the red chili thinly. Set these aside within easy reach.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable or coconut oil until shimmering but not smoking.
  • Add the diced onion to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until softened but not browned. Toss in garlic, ginger, and red chili, stirring for another minute till fragrant.
  • Pour in the coconut milk, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and fish sauce if using. Let it simmer gently on low heat while preparing the fish.
  • Pat the grouper fillets dry to get a good sear. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. In a separate pan over medium-high heat, add a little oil and cook the fish for about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it’s opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Transfer the cooked grouper to the coconut sauce pan and let it warm together for a minute or two. Spoon the sauce generously over the fish. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
