Coconut-Poached Mahi Mahi

  • 1 lb. skinless, boneless mahi mahi or other firm whitefish fillets
  • 1 small head bok choy, torn (about 3 cups)
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 (15) oz can light coconut milk, OR 1/3 can coconut cream thinned out with chicken stock.
  • 1 Thia green chili, thinly sliced
  • 1 T sugar
  • 1 T soy sauce
  • 1 T fish sauce
  • 1 tsp. salt
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine everything except the fish and bok choy. Taste sauce and adjust of needed. cut fish into fillets and place in coconut milk mixture. Cook fish, covered for 4-5 minutes. Uncover, and gently stir in bok choy. Cook for 2-4 minuets or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Ladle fish with cooking liquid into bowls.

Cooking time will vary depending on size of fish so adjust accordingly. If you want a less coconuty flavor, use less coconut milk and add some chicken stock. You can make this without boc choy and it turns out fine. This is very good served over rice noodles to soak up the sauce.
