AIP Paleo Coconut Lime Fish Curry

Crafting exotic dishes like curry on the AIP diet can be challenging, often complicated by ingredients like chili peppers or tomatoes. Our recipe effortlessly sidesteps these pitfalls, using creamy coconut milk and a fresh burst of lime juice to create vibrant, compliant flavors. The star, tender white fish, dances perfectly with these tastes, making this dish both family-friendly and a new favorite for mealtime.

Success on the AIP diet is all about smart ingredient swaps—think of turning simple basics into something magical. Here’s what you’ll need:

• White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia are dependable and mild)
• Full-fat coconut milk for rich creaminess
• Freshly squeezed lime juice for a zesty kick
• Minced garlic for aromatic depth
• Grated ginger to brighten and soothe
• Fresh cilantro as a vibrant garnish
• Turmeric for its earthy, golden warmth
• Greens like bok choy, spinach, or kale for freshness
• Thinly sliced carrots to add color and subtle sweetness
• Green onion’s white parts for gentle sharpness
• Coconut oil—the perfect sautéing fat
• A pinch of salt to enhance all flavors

1. Sauté Aromatics: Warm coconut oil over medium heat, then add garlic and ginger. Let their inviting aromas fill the kitchen.
2. Cook Veggies: Toss in carrots and the white parts of green onion. Sauté until carrots soften and onions turn translucent.
3. Simmer with Coconut Milk: Pour in coconut milk, lime juice, and sprinkle turmeric. Stir well and let it gently simmer, melding the flavors.
4. Poach the Fish: Nestle the fish fillets into the curry. Cover, lower the heat, and let them cook tenderly in this fragrant bath.
5. Add Greens and Garnish: Just before serving, stir in bok choy until wilted. Turn off the heat and top with green onion greens and cilantro for a fresh finish.

This dish offers a nourishing hug—packed with AIP-approved ingredients like the healthy fats from coconut milk, anti-inflammatory turmeric, and protein-rich fish. All cooked in one pan for easy cleanup and effortless flavor.
