Ingredients
- 4 limes
- ½ cup (packed) brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- 4 5–6-oz. cod or other flaky whitefish fillets
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Cooked jasmine rice, thinly sliced white onion, mint leaves, and cilantro leaves with tender stems (for serving)
Method
- Squeeze 3 of the limes through a sieve to give about 5 tablespoons of juice and cut the remaining lime into wedges for serving.
- Whisk the lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, turmeric, cayenne and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan, boil it, then simmer over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes until the caramel thickens.
- Pat the cod fillets dry, season them with salt and cook in the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet for about 3 minutes per side until opaque and flaking.
- Serve each fillet over jasmine rice with warm turmeric caramel spooned over, topped with white onion, mint and cilantro and the lime wedges alongside.
