Here’s a great dish to make when you don’t have fresh fish on hand. Because frozen fish doesn’t hold up well to pan-frying, simmering it in a sauce is the best way to cook it. Serve it over couscous, rice, or grated cooked cauliflower to enjoy every last drop of the curry sauce.

1 Tbsp
Red bell pepper
2 medium, sliced ¼-inch-thick
