Fish on the Cheap Veruka_dolls

So made a fish tonight - my family likes some fish now and again, and I don't really mind, I don't eat meat but sometimes I'll have some fish - so this is with a Pollock - which I had never eatten before, it said it was similar to Cod (a popular fish around where I live but increasingly scarce). I think you could use the sauce with any sort of fish or Vegetables - I'm thinking I'd LOVE this with an Eggplant or something .. everyone else seemed to like it with the fish.


I sliced a sweet onion and 2 small cloves of garlic and sauteed them in olive oil; while that was cooking, I took the pollock fillets ($3.98 for a pound and a half) and soaked it in the juice of a lime. When the onion and garlic was soft and translucent I added a small can of tomato sauce (I think it was 8 ounces), spices, and a can of coconut milk. I let the sauce cook for a while, maybe 10 minutes. I fried the fish for a couple of minutes on each side - its one of those white fish that flake easily. I added the fish to the sauce and cooked it for a few minutes more (don't wanna cook fish too much). I cut up a tomato into thin slices and chopped some cilantro as a garnish.. I served it over rice.

This is the pot of the stove:
