Cazuela de Pescado al Coco Gratinada (Fish and Coconut Casserole al Gratin)

cazuela de pescado y coco

This fish and coconut dish is fantastic. Eating it makes me think that everything is right with the world 🙂 Swordfish is one of my favorite fishes to use for this recipe because of its firm texture. It cooks very well in the coconut sauce, but if you prefer, you can use another white fish such as snapper, cod, sea bass or tilapia.

Serve this with nice plain white rice to soak up the delicious sauce. You will find yourself simply gobbling it up. It was completely satisfying.

Buen Provecho!

  15. That sounds great! I love the coconut with the lime … fantastic flavors together. And a very different way to enjoy fish. I have some coconut milk in the pantry and I have been trying to decide what I want to make with it. Thanks for the idea!
