  • In a pan add butter, curry powder, and garlic. Let it get to a bubble.
  • Add your fish to the pot and get a little sear on one side.
  • While it sears to a bowl add coconut milk, pimento, curry powder, and the rest of the dry. Season blend and mix well.
  • Pour the coconut milk into the pot and let it simmer
