Thai Green Curry Cod
Curries make a great weeknight meal because they are quick to prepare and you can pack a ton of vegetables into one simple dish. This thai green curry cod is made using store-bought curry paste which helps to cut down on prep time without skimping on flavour. You can truly make curry with any time of protein you like, however using fish keeps things light and fragrant so our wild-caught Icelandic cod is a perfect match.
