Cooking Tips

  • Adjust Spice Level: Red curry paste varies in spice level; start with less if you prefer a milder flavour and adjust to taste.
  • Don’t Overcook the Fish: Cod cooks quickly, so check at 15 minutes to ensure it’s tender and flaky without becoming dry.
  • Add Vegetables: For a more complete meal, add quick-cooking vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to the baking dish.
  • Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk for Richness: If you prefer a creamier sauce, substitute light coconut milk with full-fat coconut milk.
