Malabar Cod
Working on a Fish dish last night, choice Cod fillet
pan fried in Lurpak, garlic and curry leaves.
Served on a Malabar curry sauce with Basmati rice.

Oolala, Chefs Special LOL  ;D ;D

That looks delicious. How do you think it would go with poached smoked cod?

Thanks for the good comment Ziggy

Not sure about smoked fish Livo. Its another Scottish thing!
and the wrong flavour profile for this Coconut based dish.
I remember when I was a little kid, Dad loved his Craster Kippers
and I would vacate the premises as soon as, to avoid the smell  ;D ;D

Regarding poached fish, fine as long as it holds together, when plating.

In this dish, the Cod is cooked separately and the sauce is then added to the plate.
So it would be the same whichever way you cooked the choice of fish,
i.e, Poached, Steamed, Parcel Baked etc.

I find lightly pan fried, helps keep the fillet together, without overcooking.
 
cheers Chewy
