45 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 3 oz shallots
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 fresh red chili (or jalapeño) pepper
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro
  • 2-inch piece fresh ginger
  • 2 limes, for zest/juice
  • 1 (8 oz) bag coconut-ginger (or white) rice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup white miso paste
  • 1 ½ cups no-salt-added chicken stock (or broth)
  • 1 (13.66 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fish (or Worcestershire) sauce
  • 4 (5 oz) frozen firm white fish fillets (such as cod, snapper, or halibut; about 20 oz)
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Chili crunch (optional)

Steps

    1. Slice shallots, garlic, and chili thinly. Chop cilantro coarsely (½ cup). Peel ginger; then chop finely (or grate; 2 tablespoons). Zest limes (2 teaspoons), then juice (2 tablespoons).
    2. Cook rice following package instructions.
    3. Meanwhile, preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Place oil, shallots, garlic, chilies, and ginger in pan; cook and stir 3 minutes. Stir in miso; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until miso is lightly toasted.
    4. Whisk in stock, coconut milk, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and nestle frozen fish into coconut mixture (wash hands); cook 15–18 minutes, flipping fish halfway through cook time, until centers of fillets flake easily and are 145°F.
    5. Stir in lime zest, lime juice, spinach, and cilantro. Divide rice among serving bowls; top with fish and sauce. Drizzle with chili crisp, if using. Serve.
