Creamy Coconut Cod Curry
This Creamy Coconut Cod Curry is one of my favorite comfort food meals as the weather starts to cool! Tender flaky cod and veggies cooked right in a thick, creamy coconut curry sauce, soaking up all the sweet, savory, slightly spicy flavors. The addition of rice makes it extra filling. The entire meal comes together in about 25 minutes with minimal cleanup for a nutritious, takeout-inspired option that's way faster than ordering out and requires hardly any effort! I could not be more obsessed with this easy dinner for fall.
