    Instructions

    1. 1

      Prepare the aromatics by finely mincing 3 cloves of garlic, 2 shallots, and 1 inch of fresh ginger.

    2. 2

      Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic, shallots, and ginger until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

    3. 3

      Pour in 2 cups of full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup of water, then stir in 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric and 2 tablespoons of fish sauce.

    4. 4

      Bring the broth to a gentle simmer, ensuring it does not boil rapidly, then carefully add 1.5 pounds of white fish fillets into the simmering liquid.

    5. 5

      Poach the fish gently for 8 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky, turning once if needed.

    6. 6

      Remove the poached fish carefully from the broth and set aside, then stir in the juice of 1 lime into the coconut broth.

    7. 7

      Garnish the poached fish and broth with 1/4 cup of fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
