Curry Fish and Rice

  4.5 – 29 reviews  

You will eventually grow weary of grilled chicken this summer. You will eventually hit your limit, regardless of the marinade or the method of delivery, at which point you should turn to the chorizo. Place a handful of these renowned excellent Spanish sausage slices between your chicken pieces. Once more, you and grilled chicken will get along great as it splatters its fiery, smoky fat all over its much blander skewer-mate.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups water
  2. ¼ cup diced onion
  3. 2 tablespoons butter
  4. 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
  5. ¾ teaspoon salt
  6. ¾ cup white rice
  7. 2 frozen white fish fillets, unthawed
  8. 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  9. 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Instructions

  1. Heat water, onion, butter, curry powder, and salt in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Stir rice into onion mixture and arrange frozen white fish over rice. Sprinkle with almonds.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fish should be heated through, and the flesh should be opaque and flake easily. Mix in peas and fluff rice with a fork before serving.

I’ve always liked curry but not strong flavor
Jacob Simpson
My grandson and I love this and its so easy. Grandson didn’t care for the taste of curry. So when he comes for dinner I use a lemon pepper seasoning. Thanks for the recipe.
Charles Ward
I LOVE this recipe! Great fast and easy dinner! Definitely will double both the curry and onions next time. Also plan to replace the water with chicken stock and add some turmeric and red pepper flakes next time. We like spice.
Marc Sanchez
Absolutely delicious. Quick and tasty dinner. I did double the curry powder and topped with chopped olives instead of the peas. I will make this a regular dish for my family.
Jenny Wilson

Cody Miller
Easy to make. I doubled the curry as others suggested. Will make again.
Andrea Flores
A great base recipe for fish! I increased to 2 Tablespoons curry powder as per others suggestions. Also onion powder, turmeric, garlic powder. Melted the butter and added the curry powder and spices first. Then rice, water with chicken stock powder added. Put in some cauliflower, peas and green onions, frozen fish fillets on top – voila! A great one pan dinner. Very tasty, thank you.
Thomas Erickson
This is so good and so easy. I make it as is and love it every time!

This recipe gives “boring plain fish” an incredible boost of taste and texture. I substituted some Tom Yum broth for the water, mixed veg and toasted hazelnuts because it was what I had on hand and boosted the curry powder to suite my taste. Served with a dab of Major Grey’s chutney, too. So fast and ridiculously easy, too!
Douglas Bennett

This was a wonderful and easy recipe, with a nice flavor and texture that I plan on making again. My tweaks were sweating 1/2 cup diced onion, 1/2 cup diced green pepper, 1 carrot peeled and diced and 1 tablespoon minced garlic in the butter first for about 10 minutes. Then I added 2 cups of unsalted chicken stock and a whole tablespoon of curry powder. No salt! Brought to a boil, added 1 cup white rice, placed my cut up cod fillets on top and then simmered on low with lid for 20 minutes. After 20, I removed from heat and let it continue to steam without lifting lid for another 10. Folded in 1 cup canned drained peas while fluffing the rice, and added 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (a low sodium soy substitute). served with unsalted dry roasted peanuts. DELICIOUS!

I made this as written, except I added extra peas and used brown rice. (It did take longer than 20 minutes for ours to cook.) We enjoyed it. This recipe lends to creative variations. I would now like to try some of the suggestions by other reviewers such as ginger, Old Bay seasoning, raisins, mushrooms, celery, broccoli, and bell peppers, but not all together. As we are trying to add more fish to our diet, this will be a nice addition to our go to recipes.
Sabrina Vega
made this recipe was really a hit with my family. easy simple weeknight meal, however the flavors made it not ordinary. Will make again!
Matthew Smith
Needed more curry or spice for my taste. Other OK.
Hannah Carpenter
Used brown rice. Not sure if that’s why it took so much longer to cook. Added more water during cooking. Also added raisins. I think it was a little bland so I might experiment more, and will definitely check out more of the other reviews to get tips. Overall it was a success, and a great way to use fish a little differently.
Renee Chapman
Thoroughly enjoyed the recipe. I followed the modifications listed by Tam in the reviews [2 tbs curry powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 packet low sodium Sazon with culantro and achiote]. I also added 1/8 tsp ginger, 1/8 tsp white pepper, 1 red bell pepper, 1 green bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, and more onions. I also ut in a dash of smoked paprika for added flavor. I used tilapia as my fish and marinated it in a soy vinaigrette before cooking. It came out really tasty and very tender.
Cassandra Richardson
Hate to rate when I didn’t follow recipe exactly but this was excellent . Changes were…I dislike peas so I added some chopped fresh broccoli when about 10 minutes left to cook. I also sautéed mushrooms and celery along with the onion before adding the water and curry powder. Lots of flavour…thanks for the great recipe.
Thomas Morgan
So I followed most of the recipe, I tend to tweak ingredients based on what I have! I used Swai fillets to start, and since I had brown rice I used chicken broth to cook instead of water. Also I used red curry paste instead of powder and I doubled the amount after reading comments about it being bland. Unfortunately I didn’t realize I ran out of almonds but I will definitely use them next time! I lightly seasoned the fillets with old bay and swapped the peas with half a bag of Cole slaw mix I was trying to get rid of! I am currently scarfing down the deliciousness
