Recipe by Chef John Sugar snap pea sauce with seared black cod and strawberry garnish.

Ingredients

1 yellow onion, diced
4 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
3 tablespoons green curry paste, or more to taste
2 cups chicken broth
1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 splash lime juice, or to taste
1 pound boneless black cod, cut into eight 2-ounce pieces, skin scored 1/8-inch deep
1/4 cup diced strawberries
2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Cook and stir onion, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in green curry paste; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour chicken broth into curry-onion mixture; bring to a boil and add peas. Cover the pot with a lid and cook until peas are just tender, about 2 minutes.
Pour peas mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Pour pureed pea mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the same saucepan; set over low heat. Stir in fish sauce and lime juice; season with green curry paste and salt to taste.
Season black cod pieces all over with salt.
Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place cod, skin-side down, in hot oil and cook, turning once, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 6 minutes.
Ladle green curry sauce into 4 bowls. Place 2 pieces of cod, skin-side up, in sauce and garnish with strawberries and mint.
