Directions
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large high-sided skillet or large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, 2 teaspoons ginger, minced chile and ⅛ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons curry paste; cook, stirring often, until darkened and fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add chopped sweet potato, 1½ cups water and stirred coconut milk; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Stir in 1½ cups peas. Season 4 cod fillets with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Nestle the fish into the coconut milk mixture; cover and simmer over medium-low heat, undisturbed, until the fish is just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat; carefully transfer the fish to 4 bowls. Stir 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1½ teaspoons fish sauce into the coconut milk mixture; divide among the bowls. Garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Black cod, sometimes called sablefish or butterfish, is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Its rich, buttery texture makes it a standout choice for this dish that pairs perfectly with the curry. You can use regular cod, salmon, halibut or even shrimp in place of the black cod, but keep in mind that some swaps may lower the amount of omega-3s in the dish.
This dish is great on its own or served over brown rice or whole-grain noodles.
