Citrus Coconut Steamed Cod

I love to make this fusion meal on weeknights when I am short on time but want something big in flavor.

Ingredient

    • 4 cod fillets (6 ounces each)
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 1 cup canned coconut milk
    • 1/2 cup orange juice
    • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
    • 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
    • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
    • 1 green onion, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • Minced fresh cilantro

Instructions

    Directions

    1. In a large saucepan, place a steamer basket over 1 in. water. Place cod in basket. Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a low boil; steam, covered, until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 8-10 minutes.

      Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk cornstarch, coconut milk and orange juice until smooth. Add chili sauce, ginger and soy sauce. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in oranges, green onion, almonds and sesame oil; heat through. Serve with cod; sprinkle with cilantro.
