Curried Cod

I know the posts about my upcoming figure competition are kind of taking over but I'm SOOO excited!! In 8 1/2 weeks I will be standing on a stage being judged on not only my figure but also my charisma and dedication to this sport. That's right I said it, sport... I will be a figure athlete!

I have been very strict with what I'm eating and sticking mostly to grilled chicken, fish, and eggs for my protein and kale or spinach as a veggie. I will throw in a protein shake with berries after I workout for some carbs but that is about the extent of it. With all the diet changes I have lost 7 pounds in two weeks (at least that's what it was the last time I weighed myself). I started at approximately 21% body fat and I'm now down to about 17%. Every week I get even more strict and it has been paying off! My coach said that I'm really tightening up which is exactly what I want so I'm on track for my May 5th date!

I was really wanting to make Red Curry from Everyday Paleo but unfortunately I didn't have the ingredients on hand so I improvised and wow, I don't know why I haven't thought of this before! It's awesome! The fish really soaks in the flavors of the curry and they make a great combination. Plus I've stayed true to form and created it with as few ingredients as possible. I made this for myself so it serves one but that is easily changed, just multiply by the number of people you have :)



Ingredients:

  • 6-8 oz Wild Cod fillet
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream (from the top of the can)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Massaman Thai Curry paste
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 cup chopped veggies (I used frozen fire roasted onions and peppers)

Directions:

  1. If you are using fresh veggies, chop them then saute in a separate pan and set aside.
  2. Heat your frying pan to high heat then put your coconut cream in and heat until it is bubbly, stirring frequently.
  3. Mix in the curry and stir until bubbly and fragrant. Add the fish sauce and give a good stir.
  4. Place the fish fillet in the sauce along with the veggies, cover and cook for about 5 minutes until the fish is done. 
  5. Voila!
